strkjv@Philemon:1:8 @ Wherefore, though I might be much bold in Christ to enjoin thee that which is convenient,

strkjv@Philemon:1:9 @ Yet for loves sake I rather beseech thee, being such an one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.

strkjv@Philemon:1:10 @ I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds:

strkjv@Philemon:1:11 @ Which in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now profitable to thee and to me:

strkjv@Philemon:1:12 @ Whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive him, that is, mine own bowels:

strkjv@Philemon:1:13 @ Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered unto me in the bonds of the gospel:

strkjv@Philemon:1:14 @ But without thy mind would I do nothing; that thy benefit should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly .

strkjv@Philemon:1:15 @ For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receive him for ever;

strkjv@Philemon:1:16 @ Not now as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved, specially to me, but how much more unto thee, both in the flesh, and in the Lord?

strkjv@Philemon:1:17 @ If thou count me therefore a partner, receive him as myself.

strkjv@Philemon:1:18 @ If he hath wronged thee, or oweth thee ought, put that on mine account;

strkjv@Philemon:1:19 @ I Paul have written it with mine own hand, I will repay it: albeit I do not say to thee how thou owest unto me even thine own self besides.

strkjv@Philemon:1:20 @ Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord: refresh my bowels in the Lord.
