^16 (A)no longer as a slave, but more than a slave, ^(B)a beloved brother, especially to me, but how much more to you, both ^(C)in the flesh and in the Lord.

¹⁷ If then you regard me as a ^(D)partner, accept him as you would me. ¹⁸ But if he has wronged you in any way or owes you anything, charge that to my account; ^19 (E)I, Paul, have written this with my own hand, I will repay it (^(F)not to ^[a]mention to you that you owe to me even your own self as well). ²⁰ Yes, brother, let me benefit from you in the Lord; ^(G)refresh my heart in Christ.

^21 (H)Having confidence in your obedience, I write to you, since I know that you will do even more than what I say.

²² At the same time also prepare me a ^(I)guest room, for ^(J)I hope that through ^(K)your prayers ^(L)I will be given to you.

^23 (M)Epaphras, my ^(N)fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, greets you, ²⁴ as do ^(O)Mark, ^(P)Aristarchus, ^(Q)Demas, and ^(R)Luke, my ^(S)fellow workers.

^25 (T)The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be ^(U)with your spirit.^[b]
