WhereforeG1352, though I might beG2192 muchG4183 boldG3954 inG1722 ChristG5547 to enjoinG2004 theeG4771 that which is convenientG433, 9Yet forG1223 love’sG3588G26 sakeG1223 IG3870 ratherG3123 beseechG3870 thee, beingG1510 such an oneG5108 asG5613 PaulG3972 the agedG4246, andG1161 nowG3570 alsoG2532 a prisonerG1198 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547. 10I beseechG3870 theeG4771 forG4012 myG1699 sonG5043 OnesimusG3682, whomG3739 I have begottenG1080 inG1722 myG1473 bondsG3588G1199: 11WhichG3588 in time pastG4218 wasG3588 to theeG4771 unprofitableG890, butG1161 nowG3570 profitableG2173 to theeG4771 andG2532 to meG1473: 12WhomG3739 I have sent againG375: thouG4771 thereforeG1161 receiveG4355 himG846, thatG3778 isG1510, mine ownG1699 bowelsG4698: 13WhomG3739 IG1473 wouldG1014 have retainedG2722 withG4314 meG1683, thatG2443 inG5228 thyG4771 steadG5228 he might have ministeredG1247 unto meG1473 inG1722 the bondsG3588G1199 of the gospelG3588G2098: 14ButG1161 withoutG5565 thyG4674 mindG1106 would IG2309 doG4160 nothingG3762; thatG2443 thyG4771 benefitG18 shouldG1510 notG3361 beG1510 as it wereG5613 ofG2596 necessityG318, butG235 willinglyG1595. 15ForG1063 perhapsG5029 heG5563 thereforeG1223G3778 departedG5563 forG4314 a seasonG5610, thatG2443 thou shouldest receiveG568 himG846 for everG166; 16Not nowG3765 asG5613 a servantG1401, butG235 aboveG5228 a servantG1401, a brotherG80 belovedG27, speciallyG3122 to meG1473, butG1161 how muchG4214 moreG3123 unto theeG4771, bothG2532 inG1722 the fleshG4561, andG2532 inG1722 the LordG2962?
