Perhaps the reason he was separated from you for a little while was that you might have him back forever—

Onesimus was separated from you for a little while. Maybe that was so you could have him back forever.

現在，你們不要因為把我賣到這裡而自怨自責。上帝差我先來這裡，是為了保住大家的性命。地上的饑荒已經兩年了，我們還有五年不能種、不能收。上帝差我先來，是要為你們保留後代，又要大施拯救，保住你們的性命。這樣看來，不是你們，是上帝把我送到這裡的。祂使我成為法老的宰相，管理他的家和整個埃及。

從前你們是要加害於我，但上帝有祂的美意，祂藉此保全許多人的性命，正如今日的光景。

然而他們所做的只不過是你憑自己的能力和旨意所預定的。

那時，沿海一帶的居民必說，『看啊！我們投靠他們，指望他們救我們脫離亞述，他們竟落到這個地步！我們怎能逃脫呢？』」

你向人類發怒為你帶來榮耀，你準備發盡你的烈怒。
