intercession » Instances of » Paul for onesimus
I beseech you for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds: Who in time past was to you unprofitable, but now profitable to you and to me: Whom I have sent again: you therefore receive him, that is, my own heart: read more.
Whom I would have retained with me, that in your stead he might have ministered unto me in the bonds of the gospel: But without your consent would I do nothing; that your benefit should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly. For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that you should receive him forever; Not now as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved, especially to me, but how much more unto you, both in the flesh, and in the Lord? If you count me therefore a partner, receive him as myself. If he has wronged you, or owes you anything, put that on my account; I Paul have written it with my own hand, I will repay it: nevertheless I do not say to you how you owe me even your own self besides. Yea, brother, let me have joy of you in the Lord: refresh my heart in the Lord. Having confidence in your obedience I wrote unto you, knowing that you will also do more than I say.
