3 Favour to you and peace from Elohim our Father and the Master יהושע Messiah.
4 I always thank my Elohim when I mention you in my prayers,
5 hearing of your love and the belief which you have toward the Master יהושע and toward all the set-apart ones,
6 so that the sharing of your belief might become working in the knowledge of all the good which is in you toward Messiah יהושע.
7 For we have much joy and encouragement in your love, because the tender affections of the set-apart ones have been refreshed by you, brother.
8 Therefore, although I have much boldness in Messiah to command you what is fitting,
9 because of love, I rather appeal – being such a one as Sha’ul, the aged, and now also a prisoner of יהושע Messiah –
