[10] I beseech for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in bonds: [11] Which in time past unprofitable, but now profitable and [12] Whom I have sent again: thou him, mine own bowels: [13] Whom I would have retained with me, that stead he might have ministered in the bonds of the gospel: [14] But without thy mind would I do nothing; benefit as it were of necessity, but willingly. [15] For perhaps departed for a season, that thou shouldest receive him for ever; [16] Not now as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved, specially but how much more both in the flesh, and in the Lord?
