The Plea for Onesimus
8 Therefore, though I might be very bold in Christ to command you what is fitting,
9 yet for love’s sake I rather appeal to you—being such a one as Paul, the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ—
10 I appeal to you for my son aOnesimus, whom I have begotten while in my chains,
11 who once was unprofitable to you, but now is profitable to you and to me.
