7 For we have much joy and comfort in your love, because the hearts of the holy ones have been refreshed through you, brother.
8 Therefore though I have all boldness in Messiah to command you that which is appropriate,
9 yet for love’s sake I rather beg, being such a one as Paul, the aged, but also a prisoner of Yeshua the Messiah.
10 I beg you for my child, whom I have become the father of in my chains, Onesimus,
11 who once was useless to you, but now is useful to you and to me.
12 I am sending him back. Therefore receive him, that is, my own heart,
13 whom I desired to keep with me, that on your behalf he might serve me in my chains for the Good News.
