Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints;

Whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive him, that is, mine own bowels:

For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receive him for ever;

If thou count me therefore a partner, receive him as myself.

I Paul have written it with mine own hand, I will repay it: albeit I do not say to thee how thou owest unto me even thine own self besides.

Having confidence in thy obedience I wrote unto thee, knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say.
