Philemon 1:10

appeal to you for my child
whom I have begotten in my imprisonment (in my chains), Onesimus.
[The name Onesimus means "useful" or "helpful" and was a common slave name. The similar Greek verb onaimen means "to become useful." That is the reason for the choice of words in verse 11 and 20. Paul uses the word appeal (Gk. parakalo) in both verse 9 and 10. This, in contrast to his not commanding in verse 8, reinforces his exhortation and sincere appeal to Philem. to receive Onesimus, who was like a son to Paul.]
