Philemon 9-11
Holman Christian Standard Bible
9 I appeal to you, instead, on the basis of love. I, Paul, as an elderly man[a] and now also as a prisoner(A) of Christ Jesus, 10 appeal to you for my son,(B) Onesimus.[b](C) I fathered[c](D) him while I was in chains. 11 Once he was useless to you, but now he is useful both to you and to me.
