9   Yet for love's sake I rather beseech thee, being such an one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.
δια την αγαπην μαλλον παρακαλω τοιουτος ων ως παυλος πρεσβυτης νυνι δε και δεσμιος ιησου χριστου

10   I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds:
παρακαλω σε περι του εμου τεκνου ον εγεννησα εν τοις δεσμοις μου ονησιμον

11   Which in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now profitable to thee and to me:
τον ποτε σοι αχρηστον νυνι δε σοι και εμοι ευχρηστον

12   Whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive him, that is, mine own bowels:
ον ανεπεμψα συ δε αυτον τουτεστιν τα εμα σπλαγχνα προσλαβου

13   Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered unto me in the bonds of the gospel:
ον εγω εβουλομην προς εμαυτον κατεχειν ινα υπερ σου διακονη μοι εν τοις δεσμοις του ευαγγελιου

14   But without thy mind would I do nothing; that thy benefit should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly.
χωρις δε της γνωμης ουδεν ηθελησα ποιησαι ινα μη ως κατα αναγκην το αγαθον σου η αλλα κατα εκουσιον

15   For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receive him for ever;
ταχα γαρ δια τουτο εχωρισθη προς ωραν ινα αιωνιον αυτον απεχης

16   Not now as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved, specially to me, but how much more unto thee, both in the flesh, and in the Lord?
ουκετι ως δουλον αλλ υπερ δουλον αδελφον αγαπητον μαλιστα εμοι ποσω δε μαλλον σοι και εν σαρκι και εν κυριω

17   If thou count me therefore a partner, receive him as myself.
ει ουν εμε εχεις κοινωνον προσλαβου αυτον ως εμε
