He is especially beloved to me, but even more so to you, both in person and in the Lord {Kyriō}. 17 So if you consider me a partner, receive him as you would receive me. 18 But if he has wronged you in any way or owes you anything, charge it to my account. 19 I, Paul (humble), write this with my own hand. I will repay it—not to mention that you owe me your very self. 20 Yes, brother, let me have some benefit {onaimēn} from you in the Lord {Kyriō}. Refresh my heart in Christ (the Anointed One). 21 Confident of your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even more than I ask. 22 In the meantime, prepare a guest room for me, because I hope that through your⁺ prayers I will be restored to you⁺. 23 Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ (the Anointed One) Jesus (YHWH saves), sends you greetings, 24 as do Mark, Aristarchus (of Macedonia), Demas, and Luke (from Lucania), my fellow workers. 25 The grace of the Lord {Kyriou} Jesus (YHWH saves) Christ (the Anointed One) be with your⁺ spirit [Amen.].
