I then, as Paul--an old man and now also a prisoner of Christ Jesus-- 1 : 10 I appeal to you for my son Onesimus, who became my son while I was in chains. 1 : 11 Formerly he was useless to you, but now he has become useful both to you and to me. 1 : 12 I am sending him--who is my very heart--back to you. 1 : 13 I would have liked to keep him with me so that he could take your place in helping me while I am in chains for the gospel. 1 : 14 But I did not want to do anything without your consent, so that any favor you do will be spontaneous and not forced. 1 : 15 Perhaps the reason he was separated from you for a little while was that you might have him back for good-- 1 : 16 no longer as a slave, but better than a slave, as a dear brother. He is very dear to me but even dearer to you, both as a man and as a brother in the Lord. 1 : 17 So if you consider me a partner, welcome him as you would welcome me. 1 : 18 If he has done you any wrong or owes you anything, charge it to me. 1 : 19 I, Paul, am writing this with my own hand. I will pay it back--not to mention that you owe me your very self. 1 : 20 I do wish, brother, that I may have some benefit from you in the Lord; refresh my heart in Christ. 1 : 21 Confident of your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even more than I ask. 1 : 22 And one thing more: Prepare a guest room for me, because I hope to be restored to you in answer to your prayers. 1 : 23 Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, sends you greetings. 1 : 24 And so do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas and Luke, my fellow workers. 1 : 25 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
