In context
8 Wherefore, though I have much confidence in Christ Jesus to command thee that which is to the purpose:
9 For charity sake I rather beseech, whereas thou art such a one, as Paul, an old man and now a prisoner also of Jesus Christ.
10 I beseech thee for my son, whom I have begotten in my bands, Onesimus,
11 Who hath been heretofore unprofitable to thee but now is profitable both to me and thee:
12 Whom I have sent back to thee. And do thou receive him as my own bowels.
13 Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered to me in the bands of the gospel.
14 But without thy counsel I would do nothing: that thy good deed might not be as it were of necessity, but voluntary.
