8Therefore, though I might be very bold in Christ to command you to do that which is proper, 9yet for love's sake I rather appeal to you - I, Paul, an old man, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ - 10I appeal to you on behalf of my son Onesimus, whose father I have become in my imprisonment, 11who in the past was unprofitable to you, but now he is profitable to you and to me.
