If he has done you any wrong or owes you anything, charge it to me.
I myself will guarantee his safety; you can hold me personally responsible for him. If I do not bring him back to you and set him here before you, I will bear the blame before you all my life.
So if you consider me a partner, welcome him as you would welcome me.
I, Paul, am writing this with my own hand. I will pay it back—not to mention that you owe me your very self.
