13whom I would fain have kept with me, that in thy behalf he might minister unto me in the bonds of the gospel:
10 I beseech thee for my child, whom I have begotten in my bonds, Onesimus,
11 who was aforetime unprofitable to thee, but now is profitable to thee and to me:
12 whom I have sent back to thee in his own person, that is, my very heart:

1:13Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered to me in the bonds of the gospel:
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:
