8
Wherefore,
though I might
be
much
bold
in
Christ
to
enjoin
thee
that which is
convenient
,
9
Yet
for
love's
sake
I
rather
beseech
thee,
being
such an
one
as
Paul
the
aged,
and
now
also
a
prisoner
of
Jesus
Christ.
10
I
beseech
thee
for
my
son
Onesimus,
whom
I have
begotten
in
my
bonds:
11
Which
in time
past
was
to
thee
unprofitable,
but
now
profitable
to
thee
and
to
me:
12
Whom
I have sent
again
:
thou
therefore
receive
him,
that
is
, mine
own
bowels:
13
Whom
I
would
have
retained
with
me,
that
in
thy
stead
he might have
ministered
unto
me
in
the
bonds
of the
gospel:
14
But
without
thy
mind
would
I
do
nothing;
that
thy
benefit
should
not
be
as
it were
of
necessity,
but
willingly
*
.
15
For
*
perhaps
he
therefore
departed
for
a
season,
that
thou shouldest
receive
him
for
ever;
16
Not
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?
17
If
thou
count
me
therefore
a
partner,
receive
him
as
myself.
18
If
he
hath
wronged
thee,
or
oweth
thee
ought,
put
that
on
mine
account;
