Philemon 1:10-19

10I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds: 11Who in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now profitable to thee and to me: 12Whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive him, that is, my own heart: 13Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered to me in the bonds of the gospel: 14But without thy mind I would do nothing; that thy benefit should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly. 15For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receive him for ever; 16Not now as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved, especially to me, but how much more to thee, both in the flesh, and in the Lord? 17If thou count me therefore a partner, receive him as myself. 18If he hath wronged thee, or oweth thee any thing, put that on my account; 19I Paul have written it with my own hand, I will repay it : although I do not say to thee that thou owest to me even thy own self besides.
