Philemon 1:19-23

I Paul am signing this with my own hand: I will repay you. Of course I won't mention what you owe me, including your very self!

Yes, brother, I'm expecting this favor from you in the Lord; please make me happy in Christ.

I'm writing about this to you because I'm convinced you'll do as I ask—in fact I know you'll do even more than I've asked!

In the meantime please have a room ready for me, for I hope to be able to return to see you soon in answer to your prayers.

Epaphras who is here in prison with me sends his greetings,
