Paul’s Request for Onesimus

1:8 So, although I have quite a lot of confidence in Christ and could command you to do what is proper, 1:9 I would rather appeal ⁸  to you on the basis of love – I, Paul, an old man ⁹  and even now a prisoner for the sake of Christ Jesus ¹⁰  –

[12:7]  ¹ tn Heb “If today you are a servant to these people and you serve them and answer them and speak to them good words, they will be your servants all the days.”

[12:2]  ² tc Verse 2 is not included in the Old Greek translation. See the note on 11:43.

[12:2]  ³ tn Heb “and Jeroboam lived in Egypt.” The parallel text in 2 Chr 10:2 reads, “and Jeroboam returned from Egypt.” In a purely consonantal text the forms “and he lived” and “and he returned” are identical (וישׁב).

[9:15]  ⁴ tn Or “tool.”

[9:15]  ⁵ tn Grk “the sons of Israel.” In Acts, Paul is a minister to all nations, including Israel (Rom 1:16-17).

[15:22]  ⁶ tn Heb “go wrong” (so NRSV, NLT). The verb is the Hiphil infinitive absolute from פָּרַר, parar, which means “to break; to frustrate; to go wrong” (HALOT 975 s.v. I פרר 2). The plans are made ineffectual or are frustrated when there is insufficient counsel.

[15:22]  ⁷ sn The proverb says essentially the same thing as 11:14, but differently.

[1:9]  ⁸ tn Or “encourage.”

[1:9]  ⁹ tn Or perhaps “an ambassador” (so RSV, TEV), reading πρεσβευτής for πρεσβύτης (a conjecture proposed by Bentley, cf. BDAG 863 s.v. πρεσβύτης). NRSV reads “old man” and places “ambassador” in a note.

[1:9]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “a prisoner of Christ Jesus.”
