For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for your state.

For indeed he was sick nigh unto death: but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.

Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness; and hold such in reputation:

Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample.

In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
