dby Philemon:1:8-25
dby@Philemon:1:8 @ Wherefore having much boldness in Christ to enjoin thee what is fitting,
dby@Philemon:1:9 @ for love's sake I rather exhort, being such a one as Paul the aged, and now also prisoner of Jesus Christ.
dby@Philemon:1:10 @ I exhort thee for my child, whom I have begotten in [my] bonds, Onesimus,
dby@Philemon:1:11 @ once unserviceable to thee, but now serviceable to thee and to me:
dby@Philemon:1:12 @ whom I have sent back to thee: [but do thou receive] him, that is, my bowels:
dby@Philemon:1:13 @ whom I was desirous of keeping with myself, that for thee he might minister to me in the bonds of the glad tidings;
dby@Philemon:1:14 @ but I have wished to do nothing without thy mind, that thy good might not be as of necessity but of willingness:
dby@Philemon:1:15 @ for perhaps for this reason he has been separated [from thee] for a time, that thou mightest possess him fully for ever;
dby@Philemon:1:16 @ not any longer as a bondman, but above a bondman, a beloved brother, specially to me, and how much rather to thee, both in [the] flesh and in [the] Lord?
dby@Philemon:1:17 @ If therefore thou holdest me to be a partner [with thee], receive him as me;
dby@Philemon:1:18 @ but if he have wronged thee anything or owe anything [to thee], put this to my account.
dby@Philemon:1:19 @ I Paul have written [it] with mine own hand; I will repay [it]: that I say not to thee that thou owest even thine own self also to me.
dby@Philemon:1:20 @ Yea, brother, I would have profit of thee in [the] Lord: refresh my bowels in Christ.
dby@Philemon:1:21 @ Being confident of thine obedience, I have written to thee, knowing that thou wilt do even more than I say.
dby@Philemon:1:22 @ But withal prepare me also a lodging; for I hope that I shall be granted to you through your prayers.
dby@Philemon:1:23 @ Epaphras salutes thee, my fellow-prisoner in Christ Jesus;
dby@Philemon:1:24 @ Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, Luke, my fellow-workmen.
dby@Philemon:1:25 @ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with your spirit.
