But I trust in the Lord that I, myself, shall also come shortly.
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.
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.
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.
