Philemon 1:10

I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds:

Philemon 1:11

Which in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now profitable to thee and to me:

Philemon 1:12

Whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive him, that is, mine own bowels:

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:

Philemon 1:14

But without thy mind would I do nothing; that thy benefit should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly.

Philemon 1:15

For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receive him for ever;

Philemon 1:16

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?

Philemon 1:17

If thou count me therefore a partner, receive him as myself.

Philemon 1:18

If he hath wronged thee, or oweth thee ought, put that on mine account;

Philemon 1:19

I Paul have written it with mine own hand, I will repay it: albeit I do not say to thee how thou owest unto me even thine own self besides.

Philemon 1:20

Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord: refresh my bowels in the Lord.

Philemon 1:21

Having confidence in thy obedience I wrote unto thee, knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say.
