American King James Version
"I beseech you for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds: "
— Philemon 1:10, American King James Version
“I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds:”
“I beseech thee for my child, whom I have begotten in my bonds, Onesimus, ”
“I beg you for my child, whom I have become the father of in my chains, Onesimus,”
“I am appealing to you concerning my child, whose spiritual father I have become during my imprisonment, that is, Onesimus,”
“I beseech thee for my son, whom I have begotten in my bands, Onesimus,”
“My request is for my child Onesimus, the child of my chains,”
“I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds:”
For we have great joy and consolation in your love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by you, brother.
Why, though I might be much bold in Christ to enjoin you that which is convenient,
Yet for love’s sake I rather beseech you, being such an one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.
I beseech you for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds:
Which in time past was to you unprofitable, but now profitable to you and to me:
Whom I have sent again: you therefore receive him, that is, my own bowels:
Whom I would have retained with me, that in your stead he might have ministered to me in the bonds of the gospel:
