Hebrews 13:19

you also helping together on our behalf by your supplication; that, for the gift given to us by means of many, thanks may be given by many persons on your behalf.

But I trust in the Lord that I myself also will come shortly.

Also, prepare a guest room for me, for I hope that through your prayers I will be restored to you.

I had many things to write to you, but I am unwilling to write to you with ink and pen;

but taking his leave of them, he said, “I must by all means keep this coming feast in Jerusalem, but I will return again to you if God wills.” Then he set sail from Ephesus.

I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beg you to walk worthily of the calling with which you were called,

I have spoken these things to you, that my joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be made full.

Until now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full.

But now I come to you, and I say these things in the world, that they may have my joy made full in themselves.

Now after these things had ended, Paul determined in the Spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, “After I have been there, I must also see Rome.”

When they had appointed him a day, many people came to him at his lodging. He explained to them, testifying about God’s Kingdom, and persuading them concerning Jesus, both from the law of Moses and from the prophets, from morning until evening.

requesting, if by any means now at last I may be prospered by the will of God to come to you.

Therefore I urge you, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service.

For I do not wish to see you now in passing, but I hope to stay a while with you, if the Lord permits.

In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.

because we wanted to come to you—indeed, I, Paul, once and again—but Satan hindered us.

For you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will both live, and do this or that.”

And we write these things to you, that our joy may be fulfilled.

I came today to the spring, and said, ‘Yahweh, the God of my master Abraham, if now you do prosper my way which I go—

With him, I will speak mouth to mouth, even plainly, and not in riddles; and he shall see Yahweh’s form. Why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant, against Moses?”

Don’t reject me in my old age. Don’t forsake me when my strength fails.

Yes, even when I am old and gray-haired, God, don’t forsake me, until I have declared your strength to the next generation, your might to everyone who is to come.

Gray hair is a crown of glory. It is attained by a life of righteousness.

The father of the righteous has great joy. Whoever fathers a wise child delights in him.

Even to old age I am he, and even to gray hairs I will carry you. I have made, and I will bear. Yes, I will carry, and will deliver.

He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice. This, my joy, therefore is made full.

“I still have many things to tell you, but you can’t bear them now.

We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who themselves will also tell you the same things by word of mouth.

When they had laid many stripes on them, they threw them into prison, charging the jailer to keep them safely,

When he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, “The Lord’s will be done.”

Some of the disciples from Caesarea also went with us, bringing one Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we would stay.

So he took him, and brought him to the commanding officer, and said, “Paul, the prisoner, summoned me and asked me to bring this young man to you. He has something to tell you.”

whenever I travel to Spain, I will come to you. For I hope to see you on my journey, and to be helped on my way there by you, if first I may enjoy your company for a while.

But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord is willing. And I will know, not the word of those who are puffed up, but the power.

We are therefore ambassadors on behalf of Christ, as though God were entreating by us: we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.

Working together, we entreat also that you do not receive the grace of God in vain,

Now I Paul, myself, entreat you by the humility and gentleness of Christ, I who in your presence am lowly among you, but being absent am bold toward you.

Are they servants of Christ? (I speak as one beside himself.) I am more so: in labors more abundantly, in prisons more abundantly, in stripes above measure, and in deaths often.

For this cause I, Paul, am the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles,

on my behalf, that utterance may be given to me in opening my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the Good News,

For I know that this will turn out to my salvation, through your prayers and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

praying together for us also, that God may open to us a door for the word, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds,

night and day praying exceedingly that we may see your face, and may perfect that which is lacking in your faith?

Brothers, pray for us.

These things I write to you, hoping to come to you shortly;

longing to see you, remembering your tears, that I may be filled with joy;

Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon, our beloved fellow worker,

yet for love’s sake I rather beg, being such a one as Paul, the aged, but also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.

Know that our brother Timothy has been freed, with whom, if he comes shortly, I will see you.

Confess your offenses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective.

Beloved, I beg you as foreigners and pilgrims, to abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;

Therefore I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and who will also share in the glory that will be revealed.

Having many things to write to you, I don’t want to do so with paper and ink, but I hope to come to you, and to speak face to face, that our joy may be made full.

but I hope to see you soon. Then we will speak face to face. Peace be to you. The friends greet you. Greet the friends by name.

Let it happen, that the young lady to whom I will say, ‘Please let down your pitcher, that I may drink,’ then she says, ‘Drink, and I will also give your camels a drink,’—let her be the one you have appointed for your servant Isaac. By this I will know that you have shown kindness to my master.”
