Philemon 1:14 BBE

¹²  Whom I have sent back to you, him who is my very heart:

¹³  Though my desire was to keep him with me, to be my servant in the chains of the good news, in your place:

¹⁴  But without your approval I would do nothing; so that your good works might not be forced, but done freely from your heart.

¹⁵  For it is possible that for this reason he was parted from you for a time, so that you might have him for ever;

¹⁶  No longer as a servant, but more than a servant, a brother, very dear to me specially, but much more to you, in the flesh as well as in the Lord.
