Haweis(i)
10 I entreat thee for my son, whom I have begotten during my bonds, Onesimus:
11 who in time past hath been an unprofitable servant to thee, but now very profitable to thee and to me:
12 whom I have sent back; thou therefore receive him, even as my own bowels:
13 whom I wished to detain about myself, that in thy stead he might have waited upon me during my bonds for the gospel:
14 but without thy consent would I do nothing; that this good deed of thine might not be as of necessity, but from thy own choice.
15 For to this end perhaps was he separated from thee for a season, that thou mightest receive him for ever;
16 no longer as a slave, but above a slave, as a brother beloved, especially by me, but how much more by thee, both in the flesh, and in the Lord?
17 If therefore thou holdest me a sharer with thee, receive him as myself.
18 If he hath injured thee or oweth thee ought, put that to my account;
19 I Paul have given it under my own hand, I will repay it, not to say to thee, that thou owest even thine own self unto me.
