- But I beseech you the rather to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner.

- And do not neglect doing good and sharing, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.

- Pray for us, for we are sure that we have a good conscience, desiring to conduct ourselves honorably in all things.
- And I urge you all the more to do this, so that I may be restored to you the sooner.
