Philemon 1:1
Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon, our dear helper in the faith,
Philemon 1:8
And so, though I might, in the name of Christ, give you orders to do what is right,
Philemon 1:9
Still, because of love, in place of an order, I make a request to you, I, Paul, an old man and now a prisoner of Christ Jesus:
Philemon 1:10
My request is for my child Onesimus, the child of my chains,
Philemon 1:11
Who in the past was of no profit to you, but now is of profit to you and to me:
Philemon 1:12
Whom I have sent back to you, him who is my very heart:
Philemon 1:13
Though my desire was to keep him with me, to be my servant in the chains of the good news, in your place:
Philemon 1:14
But without your approval I would do nothing; so that your good works might not be forced, but done freely from your heart.
Philemon 1:15
For it is possible that for this reason he was parted from you for a time, so that you might have him for ever;
Philemon 1:16
No longer as a servant, but more than a servant, a brother, very dear to me specially, but much more to you, in the flesh as well as in the Lord.
Philemon 1:17
If then you take me to be your friend and brother, take him in as myself.
Philemon 1:18
If he has done you any wrong or is in debt to you for anything, put it to my account.
Philemon 1:19
I, Paul, writing this myself, say, I will make payment to you: and I do not say to you that you are in debt to me even for your life.
Philemon 1:20
So brother, let me have joy of you in the Lord: give new life to my heart in Christ.
