Philemon 1:12

World English Bible (WEB)

I am sending him back. Therefore receive him, that is, my own heart,

In context

10 I appeal to you for my child Onesimus, whom I have become the father of in my chains,

11 who once was useless to you, but now is useful to you and to me.

12 I am sending him back. Therefore receive him, that is, my own heart,

13 whom I desired to keep with me, that on your behalf he might serve me in my chains for the Good News.

14 But I was willing to do nothing without your consent, that your goodness would not be as of necessity, but of free will.
