15 Perhaps for this, he departed from you for a season, that thou should have him again forever,
16 not now as a slave, but above a slave, a brother beloved, especially to me, but how much more unto thee, both in the flesh, and in the Lord.
17 If thou count me therefore a partner, receive him as myself.
18 If he has wronged thee or owes thee anything, put that on my account;
19 I Paul have written it with my own hand, I will repay it; albeit I do not say to thee how thou owest unto me even thine own self besides.
20 Therefore, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord, that thou might refresh my heart in the Lord.
21 Having confidence in thy obedience, I have written unto thee, knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say.
