yet for love’s sake I rather beg, being such a one as Paul, the aged, but also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.

然而像我这有年纪的保罗，现在又是为基督耶稣被囚的，宁可凭着爱心求你，

可是像我这上了年纪的保罗，现在又是为基督耶稣被囚的，宁可凭着爱心求你，

可是像我这上了年纪的保罗，现在又是为基督耶稣被囚的，宁可凭着爱心求你，

然而我这上了年纪又为基督耶稣的缘故被囚禁的保罗宁愿凭爱心求你，

然而像我这上了年纪的保罗，现在又是为基督耶稣被囚禁的，宁愿凭着爱心请求你，

但为了爱的缘故，我宁愿恳求你。我保罗——像我这样一个老人，而现在又是基督耶稣的囚犯——

然而像我這有年紀的保羅，現在又是為基督耶穌被囚的，寧可憑着愛心求你，

可是像我這上了年紀的保羅，現在又是為基督耶穌被囚的，寧可憑着愛心求你，

可是像我這上了年紀的保羅，現在又是為基督耶穌被囚的，寧可憑着愛心求你，

然而我這上了年紀又為基督耶穌的緣故被囚禁的保羅寧願憑愛心求你，

然而像我這上了年紀的保羅，現在又是為基督耶穌被囚禁的，寧願憑著愛心請求你，

然而為了愛心的緣故、我寧可求，我、像我這上了年紀的保羅、如今又做了基督耶穌囚犯的、

但為了愛的緣故，我寧願懇求你。我保羅——像我這樣一個老人，而現在又是基督耶穌的囚犯——

然以愛故寧求爾、如一老邁之保羅、今且為基督耶穌之囚、

然爾我素相愛、與其命爾、不如求爾、蓋我保羅今老矣、而為耶穌基督囚、

然以愛故、寧求爾、蓋我保羅已老矣、今因耶穌基督被囚、

惟為成全愛德、寧以勸勉出之。我葆樂已龍鍾老矣；今且為基督耶穌之故、而遭受禁錮；

yet I prefer to appeal to you on the basis of love. It is as none other than Paul— an old man and now also a prisoner of Christ Jesus—

But we love each other. And I would rather appeal to you on the basis of that love. I, Paul, am an old man. I am now also a prisoner because of Christ Jesus.

yet for love’s sake I prefer to appeal to you— I, Paul, an old man and now a prisoner also for Christ Jesus—

But because of our love, I prefer simply to ask you. Consider this as a request from me— Paul, an old man and now also a prisoner for the sake of Christ Jesus.

I appeal to you, instead, on the basis of love. I, Paul, as an elderly man and now also as a prisoner of Christ Jesus,

yet for love’s sake I rather appeal to you— since I am such a person as Paul, an old man, and now also a prisoner of Christ Jesus—

yet for love’s sake I rather appeal to you— being such a one as Paul, the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ—

yet for love’s sake I rather beseech, being such a one as Paul the aged, and now a prisoner also of Christ Jesus:

I appeal to you, instead, on the basis of love. I, Paul, as an elderly man and now also as a prisoner of Christ Jesus,

Yet for love’s sake I rather beseech[ thee], being such an one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.

I would rather appeal to you on the basis of love– I, Paul, an old man and even now a prisoner for the sake of Christ Jesus–

I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beg you to walk worthily of the calling with which you were called,

Therefore I urge you, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service.

We are therefore ambassadors on behalf of Christ, as though God were entreating by us: we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.

Gray hair is a crown of glory. It is attained by a life of righteousness.

Don’t reject me in my old age. Don’t forsake me when my strength fails.

Even to old age I am he, and even to gray hairs I will carry you. I have made, and I will bear. Yes, I will carry, and will deliver.

Yes, even when I am old and gray- haired, God, don’t forsake me, until I have declared your strength to the next generation, your might to everyone who is to come.

Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon, our beloved fellow worker,to the beloved Apphia, to Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the assembly in your house:Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.I thank my God always, making mention of you in my prayers,hearing of your love and of the faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all the saints,that the fellowship of your faith may become effective in the knowledge of every good thing which is in us in Christ Jesus.For we have much joy and comfort in your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you, brother.Therefore though I have all boldness in Christ to command you that which is appropriate,yet for love’s sake I rather beg, being such a one as Paul, the aged, but also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.I beg you for my child, whom I have become the father of in my chains, Onesimus,who once was useless to you, but now is useful to you and to me.I am sending him back. Therefore receive him, that is, my own heart,whom I desired to keep with me, that on your behalf he might serve me in my chains for the Good News.But I was willing to do nothing without your consent, that your goodness would not be as of necessity, but of free will.For perhaps he was therefore separated from you for a while, that you would have him forever,no longer as a slave, but more than a slave, a beloved brother, especially to me, but how much rather to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.If then you count me a partner, receive him as you would receive me.But if he has wronged you at all or owes you anything, put that to my account.I, Paul, write this with my own hand: I will repay it( not to mention to you that you owe to me even your own self besides).Yes, brother, let me have joy from you in the Lord. Refresh my heart in the Lord.Having confidence in your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even beyond what I say.Also, prepare a guest room for me, for I hope that through your prayers I will be restored to you.Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, greets you,as do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers.The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.

For this cause I, Paul, am the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles,

Beloved, I beg you as foreigners and pilgrims, to abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;

I strongly urge you to do this, that I may be restored to you sooner.

Working together, we entreat also that you do not receive the grace of God in vain,
