Murdock(i)
10 I beseech thee for my son, whom I had begotten in my bonds for Onesimus;
11 from whom formerly thou hadst no profit, but now very profitable will he be both to thee and to me; and whom I have sent to thee.
12 And receive thou him, as one begotten by me.
13 For I was desirous to retain him with me, that he might minister to me in thy stead, in these bonds for the gospel.
14 But I would do nothing without consulting thee; lest thy benefit should be as if by compulsion, and not with thy pleasure.
15 And, perhaps, also, he therefore departed from thee for a season, that thou mightest retain him for ever;
16 henceforth, not as a servant, but more than a servant, a brother dear to me, and much more to thee, both in the flesh and in our Lord ?
