I no longer wish to live after the manner of men, and
my desire shall be fulfilled if ye consent. " I am cruci-
fied with Christ : nevertheless I live ; yet no longer I,
since Christ liveth in me." ^ I entreat you in this brief
letter : do not refuse me ; believe me that I love Jesus,
who was delivered [to death] for my sake. " What shall
I render to the Lord for all His benefits towards me?"'*
Now God, even the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ,
shall reveal these things to you, [so that j^e shall know]
that I speak truly, x^nd do ye pray along with me, that
I may attain my aim in the Holy Spirit. I have not writ-
ten to you according to the flesh, but according to the
will of God. If I shall suffer, ye have loved me ; but if
I am rejected, ye have hated me.
