    13whom I would fain have kept with me, that in thy behalf he might minister unto me in the bonds of the gospel:

    14but without thy mind I would do nothing; that thy goodness should not be as of necessity, but of free will.

    15For perhaps he was therefore parted [from thee] for a season, that thou shouldest have him for ever;

    16no longer as a servant, but more than a servant, a brother beloved, specially to me, but how much rather to thee, both in the flesh and in the Lord.

    17If then thou countest me a partner, receive him as myself.

    18But if he hath wronged thee at all, or oweth [thee] aught, put that to mine account;

    19I Paul write it with mine own hand, I will repay it: that I say not unto thee that thou owest to me even thine own self besides.

    20Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord: refresh my heart in Christ.

    21Having confidence in thine obedience I write unto thee, knowing that thou wilt do even beyond what I say.

    25But I counted it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow-worker and fellow-soldier, and your messenger and minister to my need;

    26since he longed after you all, and was sore troubled, because ye had heard that he was sick:

    27for indeed he was sick nigh unto death: but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, that I might not have sorrow upon sorrow.

    28I have sent him therefore the more diligently, that, when ye see him again, ye may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.

    29Receive him therefore in the Lord with all joy; and hold such in honor:

    30because for the work of Christ he came nigh unto death, hazarding his life to supply that which was lacking in your service toward me.
