Philemon 1:10-19

10I appealG3870 to youG4771 forG4012 myG1699 childG5043 OnesimusG3682,1 whoseG3739 father I becameG1080 while I was inG1722 chainsG1199. 11FormerlyG4218 he was uselessG890 to youG4771, butG1161 nowG3570 he has become usefulG2173 bothG2532 to youG4771 andG2532 to meG1473. 12I am sending backG3739G375 to youG4771 himG846 whoG3778 isG1510 myG1699 very heartG4698.

13IG1473 would have likedG1014 to keepG2722 him withG4314 meG1683, so thatG2443 on your behalfG5228G4771 he could minister toG1247 meG1473 inG1722 my chainsG1199 for theG3588 gospelG2098. 14ButG1161 I did not wantG2309 to doG4160 anything withoutG5565 yourG4674 consentG1106, so thatG2443 yourG4771 goodnessG18 will not beG1510G3361 out ofG5613G2596 compulsionG318, butG235 byG2596 your own free willG1595. 15ForG1063 perhapsG5029 this is whyG1223G3778 he was separatedG5563 from you forG4314 a whileG5610, so thatG2443 you might have him backG568G846 for goodG166— 16no longerG3765 asG5613 a slaveG1401, butG235 better thanG5228 a slaveG1401, as a belovedG27 brotherG80. He is especiallyG3122 beloved to meG1473, butG1161 even more soG4214G3123 to youG4771, bothG2532 inG1722 personG4561 andG2532 inG1722 the LordG2962.

17SoG3767 ifG1487 you considerG2192 meG1473 a partnerG2844, receiveG4355 himG846 asG5613 you would receive meG1473. 18ButG1161 ifG1487 he has wrongedG91 youG4771 in any wayG5100 orG2228 owesG3784 you anything, charge it to my accountG3778G1473G1677. 19IG1473, PaulG3972, writeG1125 this withG3588 my ownG1699 handG5495. IG1473 will repayG661 it—notG3361 toG2443 mentionG3004 thatG3754 you oweG4359 meG1473 your very selfG2532G4572.
