ylt @Philemon:1:8 @Wherefore , having in Christ much boldness to command thee that which is fit -- ylt @Philemon:1:9 @because of the love I rather entreat , being such an one as Paul the aged , and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ ; ylt @Philemon:1:10 @I entreat thee concerning my child -- whom I did beget in my bonds -- Onesimus , ylt @Philemon:1:11 @who once was to thee unprofitable , and now is profitable to me and to thee , ylt @Philemon:1:12 @whom I did send again , and thou him (that is , my own bowels ) receive , ylt @Philemon:1:13 @whom I did wish to retain to myself , that in thy behalf he might minister to me in the bonds of the good news , ylt @Philemon:1:14 @and apart from thy mind I willed to do nothing , that as of necessity thy good deed may not be , but of willingness , ylt @Philemon:1:15 @for perhaps because of this he did depart for an hour , that age-duringly thou mayest have him , ylt @Philemon:1:16 @no more as a servant , but above a servant -- a brother beloved , especially to me , and how much more to thee , both in the flesh and in the Lord ! ylt @Philemon:1:17 @If , then , with me thou hast fellowship , receive him as me , ylt @Philemon:1:18 @and if he did hurt to thee , or doth owe anything , this to me be reckoning ; ylt @Philemon:1:19 @I , Paul did write with my hand , I -- I will repay ; that I may not say that also thyself , besides , to me thou dost owe . ylt @Philemon:1:20 @Yes , brother , may I have profit of thee in the Lord ; refresh my bowels in the Lord ; ylt @Philemon:1:21 @having been confident in thy obedience I did write to thee , having known that also above what I may say thou wilt do ; ylt @Philemon:1:22 @and at the same time also prepare for me a lodging , for I hope that through your prayers I shall be granted to you . ylt @Philemon:1:23 @Salute thee doth Epaphras , (my fellow-captive in Christ Jesus ,) ylt @Philemon:1:24 @Markus , Aristarchus , Demas , Lukas , my fellow-workmen ! ylt @Philemon:1:25 @The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [is ] with your spirit ! Amen .
