Therefore receive him, that is, my own heart,13whom I desired to keep with me, that on your behalf he might serve me in my chains for the Good News.14But I was willing to do nothing without your consent, that your goodness would not be as of necessity, but of free will.15For perhaps he was therefore separated from you for a while that you would have him forever,16no longer as a slave, but more than a slave, a beloved brother— especially to me, but how much rather to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.17If then you count me a partner, receive him as you would receive me.18But if he has wronged you at all or owes you anything, put that to my account.19I, Paul, write this with my own hand: I will repay it ( not to mention to you that you owe to me even your own self besides).20Yes, brother, let me have joy from you in the Lord. Refresh my heart in the Lord.21Having confidence in your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even beyond what I say.22Also, prepare a guest room for me, for I hope that through your prayers I will be restored to you.23Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, greets you,24as do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers.25The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
