* refreshed by thee, brother. 8. Wherefore though I might be much bold in Chrift to enjoin thee that which is convenient, 9. Yet for loves fake I rather befeech thee, being fuch a one as Paul the aged, and now alfo am prisoner of Jesus Christ. 10. I beseech thee for my fon1 Onefimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds: 11. Which in time paft was to thee unprofitable, but now profitable to thee and to me: 12. Whom I have fent again: thou therefore receive him that is mine own bowels. 13. Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy ftead he might have miniftred unto me in the bonds of the gofpel. 14. But with out thy mind would I do nothing; that thy benefit fhould not be as it were of Leceffity, but willingly. 15. For perhaps he therefore departed for a feason, that thou fhouldft receive him for ever; 16. Not now as a fervant, but above a fervant, a brother beloved, fpecially to me, but how much more unto thee, both in the flefh, and in the Lord? 17. It thou count me therefore a partner, receive him as my felf. 18. If he hath wronged thee, or oweth thee ought, put that on mine account. 19. I Paul have written it with mine own hand, I will repay it: albeit I do not fay to thee how thou oweft unto me even thine own felf befides. 20. Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord: refresh my bowels in the Lord. 21. Having confidence in thy obedience, I wrote unto thee, knowing that thou wilt alfo do more than I fay, 22. But withal prepare me alfo a lodging: for I trust that through your prayers I fhall
