    13Though my desire was to keep him with me, to be my servant in the chains of the good news, in your place:

    14But without your approval I would do nothing; so that your good works might not be forced, but done freely from your heart.

    15For it is possible that for this reason he was parted from you for a time, so that you might have him for ever;

    16No longer as a servant, but more than a servant, a brother, very dear to me specially, but much more to you, in the flesh as well as in the Lord.

    17If then you take me to be your friend and brother, take him in as myself.

    18If he has done you any wrong or is in debt to you for anything, put it to my account.

    19I, Paul, writing this myself, say, I will make payment to you: and I do not say to you that you are in debt to me even for your life.

    20So brother, let me have joy of you in the Lord: give new life to my heart in Christ.

    21Being certain that you will do my desire, I am writing to you, in the knowledge that you will do even more than I say.

    25But it seemed to me necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, who has taken part with me in the work and in the fight, and your servant, sent by you for help in my need;

    26Because his heart was with you all, and he was greatly troubled because you had news that he was ill:

    27For in fact he was ill almost to death: but God had mercy on him; and not only on him but on me, so that I might not have grief on grief.

    28I have sent him, then, the more gladly, so that when you see him again, you may be happy and I may have the less sorrow.

    29So take him to your hearts in the Lord with all joy, and give honour to such as he is:

    30Because for the work of Christ he was near to death, putting his life in danger to make your care for me complete.

    7For I had great joy and comfort in your love, because the hearts of the saints have been made strong again through you, brother.

    8And so, though I might, in the name of Christ, give you orders to do what is right,

    10My request is for my child Onesimus, the child of my chains,
