19 I, Paul, am writing this with my own hand.(A) I will pay it back—not to mention that you owe me your very self. 20 I do wish, brother, that I may have some benefit from you in the Lord; refresh(B) my heart in Christ. 21 Confident(C) of your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even more than I ask.

22 And one thing more: Prepare a guest room for me, because I hope to be(D) restored to you in answer to your prayers.(E)

23 Epaphras,(F) my fellow prisoner(G) in Christ Jesus, sends you greetings. 24 And so do Mark,(H) Aristarchus,(I) Demas(J) and Luke, my fellow workers.(K)

25 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.(L)

19 I, Paul, am writing with my own (A)hand. I will repay—not to mention to you that you owe me even your own self besides. 20 Yes, brother, let me have joy from you in the Lord; refresh my heart in the Lord.

21 (B)Having confidence in your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even more than I say. 22 But, meanwhile, also prepare a guest room for me, for (C)I trust that (D)through your prayers I shall be granted to you.

Farewell

23 (E)Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, greets you, 24 as do (F)Mark, (G)Aristarchus, (H)Demas, (I)Luke, my fellow laborers.
