12 Whom I haue sent agayne: Thou therefore receaue hym, that is, myne owne bowels, 13 Whom I woulde haue retayned with me, that in thy steade he myght haue ministred vnto me in the bondes of the Gospell: 14 But without thy mynde woulde I do nothyng, that thy benefite shoulde not be as it were of necessitie, but willingly. 15 For happyly he therfore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receaue hym for euer: 16 Not nowe as a seruaunt, but aboue a seruaunt, a brother beloued, specially to me: but howe much more vnto thee, both in the fleshe, and in the Lorde?
