14 sine consilio autem tuo nihil volui facere uti ne velut ex necessitate bonum tuum esset sed voluntarium
Apart from however your consent no [thing] I wished to do, so that not as according to necessity the good of you may be but according to willingness.
Perhaps for because of this he was separated [from you] for a time, so that eternally him you may possess; (aiōnios g166)
16 iam non ut servum sed plus servo carissimum fratrem maxime mihi quanto autem magis tibi et in carne et in Domino
no longer no longer as a slave but above a slave, a brother beloved, especially to me myself, how much however more to you both in [the] flesh and in [the] Lord?

18 si autem aliquid nocuit tibi aut debet hoc mihi inputa
If however in any way he has wronged you or he owes [you], this to me myself do charge.
19 ego Paulus scripsi mea manu ego reddam ut non dicam tibi quod et te ipsum mihi debes
