So
although
in
Christ
I
am
bold
enough
to
order
you
to
do
what
is
proper
9
I
prefer
to
appeal
on
the
basis
of
love
For
I
Paul
am
now
aged
and
a
prisoner
of
Christ
Jesus
as
well

παρακαλῶ
σε
περὶ
τοῦ
ἐμοῦ
τέκνου,
ὃν
ἐγέννησα
ἐν
τοῖς
δεσμοῖς
Ὀνήσιμον,
11
τόν
ποτέ
σοι
ἄχρηστον
νυνὶ
δὲ
σοὶ
καὶ
ἐμοὶ
εὔχρηστον,
12
ὃν
ἀνέπεμψά
σοι
αὐτόν,
τοῦτ’
ἔστιν
τὰ
ἐμὰ
σπλάγχνα·
13
ὃν
ἐγὼ
ἐβουλόμην
πρὸς
ἐμαυτὸν
κατέχειν,
ἵνα
ὑπὲρ
σοῦ
μοι
διακονῇ
ἐν
τοῖς
δεσμοῖς
τοῦ
εὐαγγελίου,
14
χωρὶς
δὲ
τῆς
σῆς
γνώμης
οὐδὲν
ἠθέλησα
ποιῆσαι,
ἵνα
μὴ
ὡς
κατὰ
ἀνάγκην
τὸ
ἀγαθόν
σου
ᾖ
ἀλλὰ
κατὰ
ἑκούσιον·

I
appeal
to
you
for
my
child
Onesimus
whose
father
I
became
while
I
was
in
chains
11
Formerly
he
was
useless
to
you
but
now
he
has
become
useful
to
you
and
to
me
12
I
am
sending
back
to
you
him
who
is
my
very
heart
13
I
would
have
liked
to
keep
him
with
me
so
that
on
your
behalf
he
could
minister
to
me
in
my
chains
for
the
gospel
14
But
I
did
not
want
to
do
anything
without
your
consent
so
that
your
goodness
will
not
be
out
of
compulsion
but
by
your
own
free
will

τάχα
γὰρ
διὰ
τοῦτο
ἐχωρίσθη
πρὸς
ὥραν
ἵνα
αἰώνιον
αὐτὸν
ἀπέχῃς,
16
οὐκέτι
ὡς
δοῦλον
ἀλλὰ
ὑπὲρ
δοῦλον,
ἀδελφὸν
ἀγαπητόν,
μάλιστα
ἐμοί,
πόσῳ
δὲ
μᾶλλον
σοὶ
καὶ
ἐν
σαρκὶ
καὶ
ἐν
κυρίῳ.
15
For
perhaps
this
is
why
he
was
separated
from
you
for
a
while
so
that
you
might
have
him
back
for
good
16
no
longer
as
a
slave
but
better
than
a
slave
as
a
beloved
brother
He
is
especially
beloved
to
me
but
even
more
so
to
you
both
in
person
and
in
the
Lord

Εἰ

εἰ

σε

17
So
if
you
consider
me
a
partner
receive
him
as
you
would
receive
me

But
if
he
has
wronged
you
in

owes

Yes
