I exhort thee concerning my own child, whom I have begotten in my bonds, - Onesimus:

Him who, at one time, was, unto thee, unserviceable, but, now, unto thee and unto me, serviceable;

Whom I have sent back unto thee - him, that is, my own, tender affections! -

Whom, I, was minded, with myself, to detain, that, in thy behalf, unto me, he might be ministering in the bonds of the joyful message;
