Philemon:1:10-19
Seeker Overlay ON
*
I beseech (
5719 )
thee for my son Onesimus ,
whom I have begotten (
5656 )
in my bonds :
*
Which in time past was to thee unprofitable ,
but now profitable to thee and to me :
*
Whom I have sent again (
5656 ):
thou therefore receive (
5640 )
him ,
that is (
5748 ),
mine own bowels :
*
Whom I would (
5711 )
have retained (
5721 )
with me ,
that in thy stead he might have ministered (
5725 )
unto me in the bonds of the gospel :
*
But without thy mind would (
5656 )
I do (
5658 )
nothing ;
that thy benefit should not be (
5753 )
as it were of necessity ,
but willingly .
*
For perhaps he therefore departed (
5681 )
for a season ,
that thou shouldest receive (
5725 )
him for ever ;
*
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 ?
*
If thou count (
5719 )
me therefore a partner ,
receive (
5640 )
him as myself .
*
If he hath wronged (
5656 )
thee ,
or oweth (
5719 )
thee ought ,
put that on (
5720 )
mine account ;
*
I Paul have written (
5656 )
it with mine own hand ,
I will repay (
5692 )
it :
albeit I do not say (
5725 )
to thee how thou owest unto me even thine own self besides (
5719 ).
