For we have great joy and consolation in thy love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother.

Yet for love's sake I rather beseech thee, being such one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.

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

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

But at the same time prepare me also a lodging; for I trust that through your prayers I shall be given to you.
