Philemon 1:10 CPDV

⁸  Because of this, I have enough confidence in Christ Jesus to command you concerning certain things,

⁹  but I beg you instead, for the sake of charity, since you are so much like Paul: an old man and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.

¹⁰  I beg you, on behalf of my son, whom I have begotten in my chains, Onesimus.

¹¹  In times past, he was useless to you, but now he is useful both to me and to you.

¹²  So I have sent him back to you. And may you receive him like my own heart.
