Philemon 1:10-19

LITV(i) 10 I entreat you concerning my child Onesimus, whom I fathered in my bonds, 11 the one once worthless to you, but now useful to you and to me; whom I sent back to you. 12 Even receive him, that is, my heart; 13 Whom I resolved to hold with myself, that for you he minister to me in the bonds of the gospel. 14 But I was willing to do nothing without your consent, that your good might not be by way of necessity, but by way of willingness. 15 For perhaps for this he was separated for an hour, that you might receive him eternally; 16 no longer as a slave, but beyond a slave, a beloved brother, especially to me, and how much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord. 17 Then if you have me as a partner, receive him as me. 18 And if he wronged you in anything, or owes, reckon this to me. 19 I, Paul, wrote with my hand; I will repay (that I not say to you that you even owe yourself to me also).
