Filemon 1:9-16
1:9 I would rather appeal
1 to you on the basis of love – I, Paul, an old man
2 and even now a prisoner for the sake of Christ Jesus
3 –
1:10 I am appealing
4 to you concerning my child, whose spiritual father I have become
5 during my imprisonment,
6 that is, Onesimus,
1:11 who was formerly useless to you, but is now useful to you
7 and me.
1:12 I have sent
8 him (who is my very heart)
9 back to you.
1:13 I wanted to keep him so that he could serve me in your place
10 during
11 my imprisonment for the sake of the gospel.
12
1:14 However,
13 without your consent I did not want to do anything, so that your good deed would not be out of compulsion, but from your own willingness.
1:15 For perhaps it was for this reason that he was separated from you for a little while, so that you would have him back eternally,
14
1:16 no longer as a slave,
15 but more than a slave, as a dear brother. He is especially so to me, and even more so to you now, both humanly speaking
16 and in the Lord.
