Paul’s Plea for Onesimus

8 Accordingly, ^tthough I am bold enough in Christ to command you to do ^uwhat is required, 9 yet for love’s sake I prefer to appeal to you—I, Paul, an old man and now ^va prisoner also for Christ Jesus— 10 I appeal to you for ^wmy child, ^xOnesimus, ^{▼▼ Onesimus means useful (see verse 11) or beneficial (see verse 20)} ^zwhose father I became in my imprisonment. 11 (Formerly he was useless to you, but now he is indeed useful to you and to me.) 12 I am sending him back to you, sending my very heart. 13 I would have been glad to keep him with me, in order that he might serve me ^aaon your behalf ^abduring my imprisonment for the gospel, 14 but I preferred to do nothing without your consent in order that your goodness might not be ^acby compulsion but of your own accord. 15 For this perhaps is why ^adhe was parted from you for a while, that you might have him back forever, 16 ^aeno longer as a bondservant ^{▼▼Or slave; twice in this verse (for the contextual rendering of the Greek word doulos, see Preface)} but more than a bondservant, as ^aga beloved brother—especially to me, but how much more to you, ^ahboth in the flesh and in the Lord.

17 So if you consider me ^aiyour partner, receive him as you would receive me. 18 If he has wronged you at all, or owes you anything, charge that to my account. 19 ^ajI, Paul, write this with my own hand: I will repay it—to say nothing of your owing me even your own self. 20 Yes, brother, I want some benefit from you in the Lord. ^akRefresh my heart in Christ.
