yet for love’s sake I rather appeal to you—since I am such a person as Paul, the aged, and now also a prisoner of Christ Jesus—

I appeal to you for my child Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my imprisonment,

whom I wished to keep with me, so that on your behalf he might minister to me in my imprisonment for the gospel;

I, Paul, am writing this with my own hand, I will repay it (not to mention to you that you owe to me even your own self as well).
