by
thee,
brother.

Wherefore, though I might
be
much
bold
in
Christ to
enjoin
thee that which is
convenient,

for
love's sake
I
rather
beseech thee,
being such an

also a
prisoner of
Jesus
Christ.

beseech
thee
for
my
son

Which in time
past
was to
thee
unprofitable,
but
now
profitable to
thee
and to
me:
|

Whom I have sent
again:
thou
therefore
receive
him, that
is, mine
own
bowels:
|
- 1:13
Whom
I
would have
retained
with
me,
that in
thy
stead he might have
ministered unto
me
in the
bonds of the
gospel:
|
- 1:14
But
without
thy
mind
would I
do
nothing;
that
thy
benefit
should
not
be
as it were
of
necessity,
but
willingly
*.

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

now
as a
servant,
but
above a
servant, a
brother
beloved,
specially to
me,
but how
much
more unto
thee,
both
in the
flesh,
and
in the
Lord?
|
- 1:17
If thou
count
me
therefore a
partner,
receive
him
as
myself.
|
- 1:18
If
he hath
wronged
thee,
or
oweth thee
ought,
put
that
on mine
account;

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.
|

Yea,
brother,
let
me have
joy of
thee
in the
Lord:
refresh
my
bowels
in the
Lord.

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

But
withal
prepare
me
also a
lodging:
for I
trust
that
through
your
prayers I shall be
given unto
you.

salute
thee
Epaphras,
