ABU(i)
10 I beseech thee for my child, whom I begot in my bonds, Onesimus;
11 who in time past was unprofitable to thee, but is now profitable to thee and to me;
12 whom I sent back to thee. But do thou receive him, that is, my own flesh;
13 whom I would have retained with myself, that in thy stead he might minister to me in the bonds of the gospel.
14 But without thy consent I desired to do nothing; that thy benefit may not be as it were of necessity, but willingly.
15 For perhaps he departed for a season to this end, that thou shouldest receive him as thine forever;
16 no longer as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved, specially to me, but how much more to thee, both in the flesh, and in the Lord!
