I appeal to Euodia and to Syntyche to agree in the Lord.

For the appeal we make ¹  does not come ²  from error or impurity or with deceit,

Now I appeal to God as my witness, ¹  that to spare ²  you I did not come again to Corinth. ³ 

Do not address an older man harshly ¹  but appeal to him as a father. Speak to younger men as brothers, ² 

But when the Jews objected, ¹  I was forced to appeal to Caesar ²  – not that I had some charge to bring ³  against my own people. ⁴ 

I would rather appeal ¹  to you on the basis of love – I, Paul, an old man ²  and even now a prisoner for the sake of Christ Jesus ³  –

Now I, Paul, appeal to you ¹  personally ²  by the meekness and gentleness ³  of Christ (I who am meek ⁴  when present among ⁵  you, but am full of courage ⁶  toward you when away!) –

If then I am in the wrong ¹  and have done anything that deserves death, I am not trying to escape dying, ²  but if not one of their charges against me is true, ³  no one can hand me over to them. ⁴  I appeal to Caesar!” ⁵
