1:13whom I desired to keep with me, that on your behalf he might serve me in my chains for the Good News.
1:13whom I did wish to retain to myself, that in thy behalf he might minister to me in the bonds of the good news,
1:13Whom I would have retained with me, that in your stead he might have ministered to me in the bonds of the gospel:
