I would have liked to keep him with me, to wait on me in your stead while I wear these chains for the good news, but I would not do a single thing about it without your consent, so that this kindness of yours to me might not seem to come by compulsion but voluntarily.

So, if you consider me a comrade, take him to your bosom as you would me. And if he has done you any wrong and owes you anything, charge it to my account, I, Paul, write it with my own hand, I will pay it in full -- not to mention the fact that you owe me your very self besides. Yes, brother, I would like some return myself from you in the Lord's work. Through Christ refresh my heart. I write you in perfect confidence in your compliance with my wish, because I am sure that you will do even more than I ask.
