Philemon 1:10-14
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.
