a partner, receive him as myself.
(18)But if he wronged thee in any thing, or owes aught, put that to my
account. (19)I, Paul, wrote it with my own hand, I will repay. Not to
say to thee, that to me thou owest also thine own self besides.
(20)Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord. Refresh my
heart in Christ. (21)Having confidence in thy obedience I wrote to
thee, knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say.
(22)But at the same time be preparing for me also a lodging; for I
hope that through your prayers I shall be given to you.
(23)There salute thee Epaphras, my fellow-captive in Christ Jesus;
(24)Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, Luke, my fellow-laborers.
(25)The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
LETTER TO THE HEBREWS.
I.
GOD, who in many parts and in many ways spoke of old to the fathers by
the prophets, (2)in these last days spoke to us by his Son, whom he
appointed heir of all things, by whom he also made the worlds; (3)who,

the angels he says:
Who makes his angels winds,
And his ministers a flame of fire;
(8)but of the Son:
Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever;
A sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom;
(9)Thou lovedst righteousness, and hatedst iniquity;

And the heavens are the works of thy hands;
(11)They will perish, but thou remainest;
And they all will become old, as does a garment,
(12)And as a vesture thou wilt fold them up,
and they will be changed;
But thou art the same,
And thy years will not fail.
(13)But to whom of the angels has he ever said:
