05hearing of your love, and of the faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all the saints;
06that the fellowship of your faith may become effective, in the knowledge of every good thing which is in us in Christ Jesus.
07For we have much joy and comfort in your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you, brother.
09yet for love's sake I rather beg, being such a one as Paul, the aged, but also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.
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.
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.
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).
21Having confidence in your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even beyond what I say.
