Philemon 1:13

13 I would have liked to keep him with me so that he could take your place in helping me while I am in chains for the gospel.

Philemon 1:16

16 no longer as a slave, but better than a slave, as a dear brother. He is very dear to me but even dearer to you, both as a fellow man and as a brother in the Lord.

Philemon 1:21

21 Confident of your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even more than I ask.
