Philemon 1:10
appeal to you for my child Onesimus [Useful]. I became his spiritual father here in prison.

Once he was useless to you, but now he is very useful to both of us.

I am sending him back to you. This is like sending you a part of myself.

Yet, I didn’t want to do anything without your consent. I want you to do this favor for me out of your own free will without feeling forced to do it.

Maybe Onesimus was gone for a while so that you could have him back forever—

 

[sarahelizabeth]

no longer as a slave but better than a slave—as a dear brother. He is especially dear to me, but even more so to you, both as a person and as a Christian.

If he wronged you in any way or owes you anything, charge it to me

I, Paul, promise to pay it back. I’m writing this with my own hand. I won’t even mention that you owe me your life.
