but without your consent I did not want to do anything, so that your goodness would not be, in effect, by compulsion but of your own free will.

I, Paul, am writing this with my own hand, I will repay it (not to mention to you that you owe to me even your own self as well).

Having confidence in your obedience, I write to you, since I know that you will do even more than what I say.

At the same time also prepare me a lodging, for I hope that through your prayers I will be given to you.
