16 Henceforth not as a servant, but more than a servant, a brother beloved, specially to me, and much more to you, both in the flesh and in our LORD. 17 Now, therefore, if you still count me a partner, welcome him as you would me. 18 And if he has caused you any loss, or if he owes you anything, put it on my account: 19 I, Paul, have written this with my own hand; I will repay it, not reminding you that you owe to me even your own life. 20 Indeed, my brother, let me have comfort through you in our LORD: refresh my heart in Christ. 21 Because I have confidence in your obedience, I wrote to you, knowing that you will also do more than I ask. 22 In addition to all this, prepare me a lodging; for I hope that through your prayers I shall be spared to come to you. 23 Ep’a-phras, my fellow prisoner in Jesus Christ, salutes you; 24 So do Mark, Ar-is-tar’chus, De’mas, and Luke, my fellow-workers. 25 The grace of our LORD Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen. Philemon 1:16-25, Lamsa Bible. Public domain.
