¹⁸ Then Judah came near him, and said, Let your servant say a word in my lord's ears, and let not your wrath be burning against your servant: for you are in the place of Pharaoh to us.

³⁴ For how may I go back to my father without the boy, and see the evil which will come on my father?

¹⁸ If he has done you any wrong or is in debt to you for anything, put it to my account.

¹⁹ I, Paul, writing this myself, say, I will make payment to you: and I do not say to you that you are in debt to me even for your life.
