for what I hear of the love and faith you have in the Lord Jesus and all his people,

And so, though I might, in the name of Christ, give you orders to do what is right,

I prefer to appeal to you in the name of love, simply as what I am??aul, no less an envoy of Christ Jesus, though now a prisoner for him

Now if he has defrauded you of anything or owes you anything, charge what he owes to me.

Having confidence in your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even beyond what I say.
