Therefore, though I have enough confidence in Christ to order you to do what is proper,
Philemon 1:8
Wherefore, though I might be much bold in Christ to enjoin thee that which is convenient,
yet for love's sake I rather appeal to you—since I am such a person as Paul, an old man, and now also a prisoner of Christ Jesus—
Philemon 1:9
Yet for love's sake I rather beseech thee, being such an one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.
I appeal to you for my son Onesimus, whom I fathered in my imprisonment,
Philemon 1:10
I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds:
who previously was useless to you, but now is useful both to you and to me.
Philemon 1:11
Which in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now profitable to thee and to me:
I have sent him back to you in person, that is, sending my very heart,
Philemon 1:12
Whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive him, that is, mine own bowels:
whom I wanted to keep with me, so that in your behalf he might be at my service in my imprisonment for the gospel;
Philemon 1:13
Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered unto me in the bonds of the gospel:
but I did not want to do anything without your consent, so that your goodness would not be, in effect, by compulsion, but of your own free will.
Philemon 1:14
But without thy mind would I do nothing; that thy benefit should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly.
