I plead with you for this Child of mine, Onesimus, to whom, in my parson, I have become a Father.

Whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive him, that is, mine own bowels:

But I wanted to do nothing without thy mind, so that thy goodness might not be as from obligation, but from volition.

If he hath wronged thee, or oweth thee ought, put that on mine account;

I Paul have written it with mine own hand, I will repay it: albeit I do not say to thee how thou owest unto me even thine own self besides.
