Philemon 9-11

Orthodox Jewish Bible

⁹ Yet I would rather make an appeal on the mekor (basis) of ahavah (agapé)‖I, [Rav] Sha’ul, the Zaken (Elder) but also a prisoner of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua.

¹⁰ I appeal to you concerning beni, having "fathered" him (to a new birth) while in bais hasohar (prison)‖that is, Onesimus (T.N. the slave boy Onesimus’ name means "Useful")

¹¹ The one once "Useless" to you, but, now, both to you and to me "Useful" (Onesimus).
