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

I beseech thee for my son, whom I have begotten in my bonds, Onesimus, Who was formerly unprofitable to thee,

And perhaps for this end was he separated for a season, that thou mightest have him for ever;

Withal prepare me also a lodging; for I trust I shall be given to you through your prayers.
