Philemon1:10

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

Onesimus lately thy servant (the same mentioned Col. 4.9.) but my Son.

Not naturally, but spiritually, to whom I have been a spiritual Father, and begotten him to Christ in my old age, and while I have been here suffering as a Prisoner.
