Philemon 1:9

9 yet I prefer to appeal to you on the basis of love. It is as none other than Paul—an old man and now also a prisoner of Christ Jesus—

Philemon 1:11

11 Formerly he was useless to you, but now he has become useful both to you and to me.

Philemon 1:12

12 I am sending him—who is my very heart—back to you.

Philemon 1:14

14 But I did not want to do anything without your consent, so that any favor you do would not seem forced but would be voluntary.

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 1:18

18 If he has done you any wrong or owes you anything, charge it to me.

Philemon 1:22

22 And one thing more: Prepare a guest room for me, because I hope to be restored to you in answer to your prayers.
