Philemon 1:8-14
8ThereforeG1352, 1though I haveG2192 2enoughG4183 confidenceG3954 in ChristG5547 to orderG2004 you to do whatG3588 is 3properG433,
9yet for love’sG26 sakeG1223 I ratherG3123 4appealG3870 to you--since I amG1510 suchG5108 aG5108 personG5108 as PaulG3972, 5an 6oldG4246 manG4246, and nowG3570 alsoG2532 7a prisonerG1198 of 8ChristG5547 JesusG2424--
10I 9appealG3870 to you for my 1011sonG5043 1213OnesimusG3682, whomG3739 I 14fatheredG1080 in my 15imprisonmentG1199,
11who previouslyG4218 was uselessG890 to you, but nowG3570 is usefulG2173 bothG2532 to you and to me.
12I have sentG375 him backG375 to you in personG846, that is, sending my very heartG4698,
13whomG3739 I wantedG1014 to keepG2722 with me, soG2443 thatG2443 inG5228 your behalfG5228 he might beG1247 atG1247 my serviceG1247 in my 1617imprisonmentG1199 for the gospelG2098;
14but I did not wantG2309 to doG4160 anythingG3762 withoutG5565 your consentG1106, soG2443 thatG2443 your goodnessG18 would 18not be, inG5613 effectG5613, by compulsionG318, but of your own freeG1595 willG1595.
