    13 Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered unto me in the bonds of the gospel:

    14 But without thy mind would I do nothing; that thy benefit should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly.

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

    16 Not 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?

    17 If thou count me therefore a partner, receive him as myself.

    18 If he hath wronged thee, or oweth [thee] ought, put that on mine account;

    19 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.

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

    25 Yet I supposed it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, and companion in labour, and fellowsoldier, but your messenger, and he that ministered to my wants.

    26 For he longed after you all, and was full of heaviness, because that ye had heard that he had been sick.

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

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

    29 Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness; and hold such in reputation:

    30 Because for the work of Christ he was nigh unto death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward me.
