5. hearing of your love and the trust you have toward the Lord Yeshua and all the kedoshim.
6. May the fellowship of your faith become effective, with the recognition of all the good that is ours in Messiah.
7. For I’ve received much joy and comfort in your love, brother, because the hearts of the kedoshim have been refreshed through you.
8. Therefore, though I have plenty of boldness in Messiah to order you to do what’s right,
9. yet for love’s sake I appeal to you instead. I, Paul, am an old man and now also a prisoner belonging to Messiah Yeshua.
10. I beg you for my child Onesimus—for whom I became a spiritual father while in chains.
11. He once was useless to you, but now is useful both to you and me.
