    6that the fellowship of your faith may become effective, in the knowledge of every good thing which is in us in Christ Jesus.

    7For we have much joy and comfort in your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you, brother.

    12I am sending him back. Therefore receive him, that is, my own heart,

    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.

    17If then you count me a partner, receive him as you would receive me.

    18But if he has wronged you at all, or owes you anything, put that to my account.

    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).

    20Yes, brother, let me have joy from you in the Lord. Refresh my heart in the Lord.
