10 I beseech thee for my child whom I begat in my bonds, Onesimus.
11 Once unprofitable to thee, but now more profitable to thee and to me:
12 Whom I sent back: and thou him, that is, my bowels, receive again:
13 Whom I was wishing to retain to myself, that for thee he might serve me in the bonds of the good news:
14 But without thy judgment I would do nothing; that good might not be as according to necessity, but according to free will.
15 For perhaps therefore he was separated for a time, that thou mightest receive him forever;
16 No more as a servant, but above a servant, a dearly beloved brother, especially to me, and how much rather to thee, also in the flesh, and in the Lord?
