In context
6 That the communication of thy faith may be made evident in the acknowledgment of every good work that is in you in Christ Jesus.
7 For I have had great joy and consolation in thy charity, because the bowels of the saints have been refreshed by thee, brother.
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.
