Amplified Bible
A Plea for Onesimus to be Freed
10 I appeal to you for my [own spiritual] child Onesimus, whom I have fathered [in the faith] while a captive in these chains. 11 Once he was useless to you, but now he is indeed [a]useful to you as well as to me. 12 I have sent him back to you in person, that is, like sending my very heart.
