I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand. This is the mark in every letter of mine; it is the way I write.
I Tertius, the writer of this letter, greet you in the Lord.
I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand.

This is evidence of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be made worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you are suffering—

Now then, swear to me by the Lord that as I have dealt kindly with you, you also will deal kindly with my father's house, and give me a sure sign,
also take these ten cheeses to the commander of their thousand. See how your brothers fare, and bring some token from them.”
