Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you.

That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.

That I may be delivered from them that do not believe in Judaea; and that my service which I have for Jerusalem may be accepted of the saints;

That I may come unto you with joy by the will of God, and may with you be refreshed.

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