So they brought the boy to him, and when the spirit saw Jesus it at once convulsed the boy; he fell on the ground and rolled about, foaming at the mouth. Jesus asked his father, "How long has he been like this?" "From childhood," he said; "it has thrown him into fire and water many a time, to destroy him. If you can do anything, do help us, do have pity on us." Jesus said to him, "'If you can'! Anything can be done for one who believes."

The child turned like a corpse, so that most people said, "he is dead"; but, taking his hand, Jesus raised him and he got up.

I would have liked to keep him beside me, that as your deputy he might serve me during my imprisonment for the gospel; but I did not want to do anything without your consent, so that your goodness to me might come of your own free will, without any appearance of constraint. Perhaps this was why you and he were parted for a while, that you might get him back for good, no longer a mere slave but something more than a slave ??a beloved brother; especially dear to me but how much more to you as a man and as a Christian! You count me a partner? Then receive him as you would receive me, and if he has cheated you of any money or owes you any sum, put that down to my account. This is in my own handwriting: 'I Paul promise to refund it' ??not to mention that you owe me, over and above, your very soul. Come, brother, let me have some return from you in the Lord! Refresh my heart in Christ. I send you this letter relying on your obedience; I know you will do even more than I tell you.
