Philemon 1:10-17
10I 1appealG3870 to you for my 2childG5043 34OnesimusG3682, whomG3739 I have begottenG1080 in my 5imprisonmentG1199, 11who formerlyG4218 was uselessG890 to you, but nowG3570 is usefulG2173 bothG2532 to you and to me. 12I have sentG375 him backG375 to you in personG846, that is, sending my very heartG4698, 13whomG3739 I wishedG1014 to keepG2722 with me, soG2443 that on your behalfG5228 he might ministerG1247 to me in my 67imprisonmentG1199 for the gospelG2098; 14but withoutG5565 your consentG1106 I did not wantG2309 to doG4160 anythingG3762, soG2443 that your goodnessG18 would 8not be, in effectG2596, by compulsionG318 but of your own freeG1595 willG1595. 15For perhapsG5029 9he was for thisG3778 reasonG1223 separatedG5563 from you for a whileG5610, that you would haveG568 him backG568 foreverG166, 1610noG3765 longerG3765 as a slaveG1401, but moreG5228 thanG5228 a slaveG1401, 11a belovedG27 brotherG80, especiallyG3122 to me, but howG4214 muchG4214 moreG3123 to you, bothG2532 12in the fleshG4561 and in the LordG2962.
17IfG1487 thenG3767 you regardG2192 me a 13partnerG2844, acceptG4355 him as you would me.
