Because you na make all the brother dem happy.
8 So because of the power I get from Christ, I really free to talk to you and to tell you to do the right thing. 9 But I will not do da one, I will beg you because you somebody who can show love, and you also know da, I Paul, I old man and I in jail because of Jesus Christ. 10 I begging you for O·nesʹi·mus who I take to be my own son here in jail. 11 Before, he wor useless to you, but now-now he can help me and you. 12 I sending him back to you, and I really love him with my whole heart.
13 I in jail because of the good news. So I really wanted him to be here with me, to help me the same way you wor coming help me if you wor here. 14 But I not want do anything without asking you first, so I can’t force you to do good, but it mon come from your heart. 15 Maybe da the reason why he run away from you for short time, so da when he go back to you he can be with you forever. 16 He will not be slave again, but he will be more than slave, because he our brother who we really love.
