Translations
Whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive him, that is, mine own bowels:
I am sending him back to you. Him, that is, my very own inward parts.
I am sending him back to you. And in sending him, I send you my very heart.
I am sending back to you him who is my very heart.
Footnotes
Splanchna appears again (see v. 7 note). The repetition is deliberate and emotionally loaded—Onesimus is not merely a messenger but Paul's embodied affection, making the appeal to receive him back all the more visceral.
