²² and it hath been, when their fathers or their brethren come in to plead unto us, that we have said unto them, Favour us `by' them, for we have not taken `to' each his wife in battle, for ye -- ye have not given to them at this time `that' ye are guilty.'

¹⁸ and we -- we are not able to give to them wives out of our daughters, for the sons of Israel have sworn, saying, Cursed `is' he who is giving a wife to Benjamin.'

⁹ because of the love I rather entreat, being such an one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ;

¹⁰ I entreat thee concerning my child -- whom I did beget in my bonds -- Onesimus,

¹¹ who once was to thee unprofitable, and now is profitable to me and to thee,

²⁷ And God prepareth the man in His image; in the image of God He prepared him, a male and a female He prepared them.
