intercession » Instances of » Paul for onesimus
I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I begat in my bonds, which in time past was to thee unprofitable: but now profitable both to thee and also to me, whom I have sent home again. Thou therefore receive him, that is to say mine own heart, read more.
whom I would fain have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered unto me in the bonds of the gospel. Nevertheless, without thy mind, would I do nothing, that that good which springeth of thee should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly. Haply he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receive him for ever, not now as a servant: but above a servant, I mean a brother beloved, specially to me: but how much more unto thee, both in the flesh, and also in the Lord? If thou count me a fellow, receive him as myself. If he have hurt thee or oweth thee ought, that lay to my charge. I, Paul, have written it with mine own hand. I will recompense it. So that I do not say to thee how that thou owest unto me even thine own self. Even so, brother, let me enjoy thee in the Lord. Comfort my heart in the Lord. Trusting in thine obedience, I wrote unto thee, knowing that thou wilt do more than I say for.
