Philemon 1:12

Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

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

In context

10 I appeal to you for my child Onesimus, whose father I became while I was in chains.

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

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

13 I would have liked to keep him with me, so that on your behalf he could minister to me in my chains for the gospel.

14 But I did not want to do anything without your consent, so that your goodness will not be out of compulsion, but by your own free will.
