kjv Philemon:1:12-16 SEEK

*
Whom I have sent again :
thou therefore receive him ,
that is ,
mine own bowels :
*
Whom I would have retained with me ,
that in thy stead he might have ministered unto me in the bonds of the gospel :
*
But without thy mind would I do nothing ;
that thy benefit should not be as it were of necessity ,
but willingly .
*
For perhaps he therefore departed for a season ,
that thou shouldest receive 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 ?
