Charles Spurgeon Commentary Philemon 1:10

"I beseech thee for my child, whom I have begotten in my bonds, Onesimus," — Philemon 1:10 (ASV)

I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds:

"He came to hear me preach in the prison. He has been listening to me while I am still a captive, and he has been given to me, as another son in the gospel, to be a comfort to me in my bonds. I appeal to you for him."
