By love I beseech rather, being such as Paul an aged man, and now also the imprisoned of Jesus Christ.

No more as a servant, but above a servant, a dearly beloved brother, especially to me, and how much rather to thee, also in the flesh, and in the Lord?

I Paul wrote with my hand, I will pay back: that I say not to thee, for thou owest thyself to me also in addition.

And at the same time also prepare for me a reception as a guest: for I hope that by your prayers I shall be given as a favor to you.
