| 9 | δια |  | την |  | αγαπην |  | μαλλον |  | παρακαλω |  | τοιουτος |  | ων |  | ως |  | παυλος |
|  | for the sake of |  | ♦ |  | love |  | rather |  | I exhort, |  | such a one |  | being |  | as |  | Paul |

πρεσβυτης |  | νυνι |  | δε |  | και |  | δεσμιος |  | ιησου |  | χριστου |  |
[the] aged, |  | and now |  | ♦ |  | also |  | prisoner |  | of Jesus |  | Christ. |  |

| 10 | παρακαλω |  | σε |  | περι |  | του |  | εμου |  | τεκνου |  | ον |  | εγεννησα |  | εν |  | τοις |  | δεσμοις |
|  | I exhort |  | thee |  | for |  | ♦ |  | me |  | child, |  | whom |  | I begot |  | in |  | ♦ |  | bonds 2 |

μου |  | ονησιμον |  |
my, 1 |  | Onesimus, |  |

| 11 | τον |  | ποτε |  | σοι |  | αχρηστον |  | νυνι |  | δε |  | σοι |  | και |  | εμοι |  | ευχρηστον |  |
|  | ♦ |  | once |  | to thee |  | unserviceable, |  | but now |  | ♦ |  | to thee |  | and |  | to me |  | serviceable: |  |

| 12 | ον |  | ανεπεμψα |  | συ |  | δε |  | αυτον |  | τουτ |  | εστιν |  | τα |  | εμα |  | σπλαγχνα |  |
|  | whom |  | I sent back [to thee]: |  | but thou |  | ♦ |  | him, |  | (that is, |  | ♦ |  | my |  | bowels,) |  | receive: |  |

| 13 | ον |  | εγω |  | εβουλομην |  | προς |  | εμαυτον |  | κατεχειν |  | ινα |  | υπερ |  | σου |  | διακονη |
|  | whom |  | I |  | was desiring |  | with |  | myself |  | to keep, |  | that |  | for |  | thee |  | he might serve |

μοι |  | εν |  | τοις |  | δεσμοις |  | του |  | ευαγγελιου |  |
me |  | in |  | the |  | bonds |  | of the |  | glad tidings; |  |

| 14 | χωρις |  | δε |  | της |  | σης |  | γνωμης |  | ουδεν |  | ηθελησα |  | ποιησαι |  | ινα |  | μη |  | ως |
|  | but apart from |  | ♦ |  | thy mind |  | ♦ |  | ♦ |  | nothing |  | I wished |  | to do, |  | that |  | not |  | as |

κατα |  | αναγκην |  | το |  | αγαθον |  | σου |  | η |  | αλλα |  | κατα |  | εκουσιον |  |
of necessity |  | ♦ |  | thy good |  | ♦ |  | ♦ |  | might be, |  | but |  | of willingness: |  | ♦ |  |

| 15 | ταχα |  | γαρ |  | δια |  | τουτο |  | εχωρισθη |  | προς |  | ωραν |  | ινα |
|  | for perhaps |  | ♦ |  | because of |  | this |  | he was separated [from thee] |  | for |  | a time, |  | that |

αιωνιον |  | αυτον |  | απεχης |  |
eternally |  | him |  | thou mightest possess; |  |

| 16 | ουκετι |  | ως |  | δουλον |  | αλλ |  | υπερ |  | δουλον |  | αδελφον |  | αγαπητον |  | μαλιστα |
|  | no longer |  | as |  | a bondman, |  | but |  | above |  | a bondman, |  | a brother |  | beloved, |  | specially |

εμοι |  | ποσω |  | δε |  | μαλλον |  | σοι |  | και |  | εν |  | σαρκι |  | και |  | εν |  | κυριω |  |
to me, |  | and how much |  | ♦ |  | rather |  | to thee |  | both |  | in |  | [the] flesh |  | and |  | in |  | [the] Lord? |  |

| 17 | ει |  | ουν |  | εμε |  | εχεις |  | κοινωνον |  | προσλαβου |  | αυτον |  | ως |  | εμε |  |
|  | If |  | therefore |  | me |  | thou holdest |  | a partner, |  | receive |  | him |  | as |  | me; |  |

| 18 | ει |  | δε |  | τι |  | ηδικησεν |  | σε |  | η |  | οφειλει |  | τουτο |  | εμοι |  | ελλογει |  |
|  | but if |  | ♦ |  | anything |  | he wronged |  | thee, |  | or |  | owes, |  | this |  | put to my account. |  | ♦ |  |

| 19 | εγω |  | παυλος |  | εγραψα |  | τη |  | εμη |  | χειρι |  | εγω |  | αποτισω |  | ινα |  | μη |
|  | I |  | Paul |  | wrote [it] |  | with my |  | ♦ |  | [own] hand; |  | I |  | will repay; |  | that |  | I may not say |

λεγω |  | σοι |  | οτι |  | και |  | σεαυτον |  | μοι |  | προσοφειλεις |  |
♦ |  | to thee |  | that |  | even |  | thyself |  | to me |  | thou owest also. |  |

| 20 | ναι |  | αδελφε |  | εγω |  | σου |  | οναιμην |  | εν |  | κυριω |  | αναπαυσον |  | μου |  | τα |
|  | Yea, |  | brother, |  | I 2 |  | of 3 thee 4 |  | may have profit 1 |  | in |  | [the] Lord: |  | refresh |  | my |  | ♦ |

σπλαγχνα |  | εν |  | κυριω |  |
bowels |  | in |  | [the] Lord. |  |

| 21 | πεποιθως |  | τη |  | υπακοη |  | σου |  | εγραψα |  | σοι |  | ειδως |  | οτι |  | και |
|  | Being persuaded of |  | thy obedience |  | ♦ |  | ♦ |  | I wrote |  | to thee, |  | knowing |  | that |  | even |

υπερ |  | ο |  | λεγω |  | ποιησεις |  |
above |  | what |  | I may say |  | thou wilt do. |  |

| 22 | αμα |  | δε |  | και |  | ετοιμαζε |  | μοι |  | ξενιαν |  | ελπιζω |  | γαρ |  | οτι |  | δια |  | των |
|  | But withal |  | ♦ |  | also |  | prepare |  | me |  | a lodging; |  | for I hope |  | ♦ |  | that |  | through |  | your prayers |
