Philemon 10-12

Amplified Bible

A Plea for Onesimus to be Freed

¹⁰ I appeal to you for my [own spiritual] child Onesimus, whom I have fathered [in the faith] while a captive in these chains. ¹¹ Once he was useless to you, but now he is indeed ^[a]useful to you as well as to me. ¹² I have sent him back to you in person, that is, like sending my very heart.
