And if he has done you any wrong in any way or owes anything [to you], charge that to my account.
I will be security for him; you shall require him of me [personally]; if I do not bring him back to you and put him before you, then let me bear the blame forever.
If then you consider me a partner and a comrade in fellowship, welcome and receive him as you would [welcome and receive] me.
I, Paul, write it with my own hand, I promise to repay it [in full]–and that is to say nothing [of the fact] that you owe me your very self!
