gltv - Philemon:1:8-25

gltv@Philemon:1:8 @ Because of this, having much boldness in Christ to enjoin you to do what is becoming,

gltv@Philemon:1:9 @ rather because of love I entreat, being such a one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ;

gltv@Philemon:1:10 @ I entreat you concerning my child Onesimus, whom I fathered in my bonds,

gltv@Philemon:1:11 @ the one once worthless to you, but now useful to you and to me; whom I sent back to you.

gltv@Philemon:1:12 @ Even receive him, that is, my heart;

gltv@Philemon:1:13 @ Whom I resolved to hold with myself, that for you he minister to me in the bonds of the gospel.

gltv@Philemon:1:14 @ But I was willing to do nothing without your consent, that your good might not be by way of necessity, but by way of willingness.

gltv@Philemon:1:15 @ For perhaps for this he was separated for an hour, that you might receive him eternally;

gltv@Philemon:1:16 @ no longer as a slave, but beyond a slave, a beloved brother, especially to me, and how much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.

gltv@Philemon:1:17 @ Then if you have me as a partner, receive him as me.

gltv@Philemon:1:18 @ And if he wronged you in anything, or owes, reckon this to me.

gltv@Philemon:1:19 @ I, Paul, wrote with my hand; I will repay (that I not say to you that you even owe yourself to me also).

gltv@Philemon:1:20 @ Yes, brother, that I may have your help in the Lord, refresh my heart in the Lord.

gltv@Philemon:1:21 @ Trusting to your obedience, I wrote to you, knowing that you will do even beyond what I say.

gltv@Philemon:1:22 @ But at once prepare lodging for me; for I hope that through your prayers I shall be given to you.

gltv@Philemon:1:23 @ Epaphras, my fellow-captive in Christ Jesus, greets you,

gltv@Philemon:1:24 @ also my fellow-workers Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke.

gltv@Philemon:1:25 @ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
