Philemon 10-12
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
10 I appeal to you for my [own spiritual] child, Onesimus [meaning profitable], whom I have begotten [in the faith] while a captive in these chains.
11 Once he was unprofitable to you, but now he is indeed profitable to you as well as to me.
12 I am sending him back to you in [a]his own person, [and it is like sending] my very heart.
