But I trust in the Lord that I, myself, shall also come shortly.
I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy shortly to you, that I also may be of good comfort when I get word concerning you.
But, in addition, prepare also lodging for me, for I hope that through your prayers I shall be graciously restored to you.
I have many things to write to you, but I prefer not to write with papyrus and ink. Instead, I hope to come to you and speak face to face that our joy may be complete.
Instead, I hope to see you soon, and we shall speak face to face. Peace be to you. The friends greet you. Greet the friends by name.
