19. I, Paul, am writing this in my own handwriting: I will pay back anything Onesimus owes. And I will say nothing about what you owe me for your own life.
20. So, my brother, as a follower of the Lord please do this favor for me. It would be such a great encouragement to me as your brother in Christ.
21. I write this letter knowing that you will do what I ask, and even more than I ask.
22. Also, please prepare a room for me. I hope that God will answer your prayers and that I will be able to come and see you.
23. Epaphras is a prisoner with me for Christ Jesus. He sends you his greetings.
