12

whom I have sent back to thee {G1161} in his own person, that is, my very heart:

13

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

15

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

18

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

19

I Paul write it with mine own hand, I will repay it: None that I say not unto thee that thou owest to me even thine own self besides.

21

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