Since by praying to God I obtained my request to see your faces, worthy of God, I received even more than I had asked. For, bound in Christ Jesus, I hope to greet you, if it is His will that I be counted worthy to reach the end.
For the beginning has been well ordered, if indeed I obtain grace to receive my lot without hindrance. For I fear your love, lest it wrong me. It is easy for you to do what you want, but it is difficult for me to attain God if you do not spare me.
