Moffatt⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁹ I prefer to appeal to you on the ground of love. Well then, as Paul the old man, who now-a-days is a prisoner for Christ Jesus, ¹⁰ I appeal to you on behalf of my spiritual son born while I was in prison. It is Onesimus! ¹¹ Once you found him a worthless character, but now-a-days he is worth something to you and me. ¹² I am sending him back to you, and parting with my very heart.
