Philemon:1:10-16
nkjv@Philemon:1:10 @ I appeal to you for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten while in my chains,
nkjv@Philemon:1:11 @ who once was unprofitable to you, but now is profitable to you and to me.
nkjv@Philemon:1:12 @ I am sending him back. You therefore receive him, that is, my own heart,
nkjv@Philemon:1:13 @ whom I wished to keep with me, that on your behalf he might minister to me in my chains for the gospel.
nkjv@Philemon:1:14 @ But without your consent I wanted to do nothing, that your good deed might not be by compulsion, as it were, but voluntary.
nkjv@Philemon:1:15 @ For perhaps he departed for a while for this purpose, that you might receive him forever,
nkjv@Philemon:1:16 @ no longer as a slave but more than a slave--a beloved brother, especially to me but how much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.
