Philemon 1:8-16

8Wherefore, though I have all boldnessG3954 in ChristG5547 to enjoin thee that which is befitting, 9yet for love’sG26 sakeG1223 I ratherG3123 beseech, beingG1510 such a oneG3588 as PaulG3972 the aged, and nowG1161 a prisonerG1198 alsoG2532 of ChristG5547 JesusG2424: 10I beseech thee for my childG5043, whom I have begottenG1080 in my bonds, OnesimusG3682, 11who onceG4218 was unprofitable to thee, but nowG1161 is profitable to thee and to me: 12whom I have sent backG375 to thee in his own person, that isG1510, my very heartG4698: 13whom I would fain have kept with me, that in thy behalfG5228 he might ministerG1247 unto me in the bonds of the gospelG2098: 14but without thy mind I would do nothing; that thy goodness should not beG1510 as of necessityG318, but of free will. 15For perhapsG5029 he was therefore parted from thee for a season, that thou shouldest have him for ever; 16noG3756 longerG2089 as a servantG1401, but moreG3123 than a servantG1401, a brotherG80 belovedG27, specially to me, but howG5613 muchG4214 ratherG3123 to thee, both in the fleshG4561 and in the LordG2962.
