Lord, I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof...

Mt-08: "Lord, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof; but only say the word, and my servant will be healed."

The Roman Missal: "Lord, I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof, but only say the word and my soul shall be healed."

I think this alternative gives a complementary meaning: "Lord, I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof, but only say the word and your servant shall be healed."

"Lord, I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof, but only say the word and $\begin{Bmatrix} \text{my soul} \\ \text{your servant} \end{Bmatrix}$ shall be healed."
