16 No more as a servant, but above a servant, a dearly beloved brother, especially to me, and how much rather to thee, also in the flesh, and in the Lord? 17 If therefore thou hold me a participator, receive him in addition as me. 18 And if he injured thee any, or is indebted, charge this to me. 19 I Paul wrote with my hand, I will pay back: that I say not to thee, for thou owest thyself to me also in addition. 20 Yea, brother, may I be profited by thee in the Lord: refresh my bowels in the Lord. 21 Having confidence in thy obedience I wrote to thee, knowing that thou wilt do above what I say to thee. 22 And at the same time also prepare for me a reception as a guest: for I hope that by your prayers I shall be given as a favor to you. 23 Epaphras greets thee, my fellow-captive in Christ Jesus; 24 Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas, my co-workers. 25 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ with your spirit. Amen. Philemon 1:16-25, Smith's Literal Translation. Public domain.
