I give thanks to my God, always keeping remembrance of you in my prayers,
(for I am hearing of your charity and faith, which you have in the Lord Jesus and with all the saints)
so that the participation of your faith may become evident by the recognition of every good work which is in you in Christ Jesus.
For I have found great joy and consolation in your charity, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed by you, brother.
Because of this, I have enough confidence in Christ Jesus to command you concerning certain things,
but I beg you instead, for the sake of charity, since you are so much like Paul: an old man and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.
I beg you, on behalf of my son, whom I have begotten in my chains, Onesimus.
