16. No longer as a bond servant, but, more than a bond servant, an ach ahuv (a beloved brother [in Moshiach]), especially to me, and how much more to you, both as a man and in Adoneinu.
17. So if you consider me partnered to you as a chaver in our [common orthodox Jewish emunah], receive him as you would me.
18. But if in anything he wronged you or owes you, charge this to my cheshbon (account, bill).
19. I, [Rav] Sha'ul, am writing this with my own hand: I will repay. This is not to meorer (point out) the fact that on your cheshbon you owe me your very neshamah.
20. Yes, Ach b'Moshiach, I would have some "usefulness" from you in Adoneinu. Refresh my lev in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.
21. Confident of you as one who is shomer mitzvot, I am writing to you, knowing that you will do even above what I say.
22. Also, this too, prepare a heimishe mekom linah (guest room, lodging place) for me, for I have the tikvah (hope) that through your tefillos I will be restored to you.
23. Drishat Shalom to you from Epaphras, my coprisoner in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua.
