23 Know ye that our brother Timothy is set at liberty; with whom, if he come shortly, I will see you.
And sent Timotheus, our brother, and minister of God, and our fellowlabourer in the gospel of Christ, to establish you, and to comfort you concerning your faith:

When therefore I have performed this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will come by you into Spain.
Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.

But withal prepare me also a lodging: for I trust that through your prayers I shall be given unto you.
