    10I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds:

    11Which in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now profitable to thee and to me:

    12Whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive him, that is, mine own bowels:

    13Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered unto me in the bonds of the gospel:

    14But without thy mind would I do nothing; that thy benefit should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly.

    15For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receive him for ever;

    16Not now as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved, specially to me, but how much more unto thee, both in the flesh, and in the Lord?

    17If thou count me therefore a partner, receive him as myself.

    18If he hath wronged thee, or oweth thee ought, put that on mine account;

    19I Paul have written it with mine own hand, I will repay it: albeit I do not say to thee how thou owest unto me even thine own self besides.
