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

whom I have sent home again. Thou therefore receive him, that is to say mine own heart,

but without thy mind I would do nothing; that thy goodness should not be as of necessity, but of free will.

But if he hath wronged the at all, or oweth thee aught, put that to mine account;

I Paul write it with mine own hand, I will repay it: that I say not unto thee that thou owest to me even thine own self besides.
