13Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered unto me in the bonds of the gospel:
13Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered unto me in the bonds of the gospel:
10 I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds:
11 Which in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now profitable to thee and to me:
12 Whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive him, that is, mine own bowels:
13 Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered unto me in the bonds of the gospel:
14 But without thy mind would I do nothing; that thy benefit should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly.
15 For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receive him for ever;
1:13I would have liked to keep him with me so that he could take your place in helping me while I am in chains for the gospel.
1:13whom I would fain have kept with me, that in thy behalf he might minister unto me in the bonds of the gospel:
1:13Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered to me in the bands of the gospel:
1:13whom I was desirous of keeping with myself, that for thee he might minister to me in the bonds of the glad tidings;
1:13whom I would fain have kept with me, that in thy behalf he might minister unto me in the bonds of the gospel:
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:
