Philem 1:8: Wherefore, though I might be much bold in Christ to enjoin thee that which is convenient,

Philem 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.

Philem 1:10: I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds:

Philem 1:11: Which in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now profitable to thee and to me:

Philem 1:12: Whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive him, that is, mine own bowels:

Philem 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:

Philem 1:14: But without thy mind would I do nothing; that thy benefit should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly.

Philem 1:15: For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receive him for ever;

Philem 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?

Philem 1:17: If thou count me therefore a partner, receive him as myself.

Philem 1:18: If he hath wronged thee, or oweth thee ought, put that on mine account;

Philem 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.

Philem 1:20: Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord: refresh my bowels in the Lord.

Philem 1:21: Having confidence in thy obedience I wrote unto thee, knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say.
