    10I am appealing to you concerning my child, whose spiritual father I have become during my imprisonment, that is, Onesimus,

    11who was formerly useless to you, but is now useful to you and me.

    12I have sent him(who is my very heart) back to you.

    13I wanted to keep him with me so that he could serve me in your place during my imprisonment for the sake of the gospel.
