hearing of thy love and faith, which thou have toward the Lord Jesus and for all the sanctified,

And thou should welcome him, that is, my bowels.

For perhaps because of this he departed for an hour, so that thou might receive him back forever,

If then thou have me a partner, accept him as myself.

I Paul write with my hand, I will repay, so that I may not say to thee that thou owe me in return even thyself.

Being confident in thine obedience I wrote to thee, knowing that thou will do above what I say.
