Philemon 7-9

International Children’s Bible

⁷ My brother, you have shown love to God’s people. You have made them feel happy. This has given me great joy and comfort.

Accept Onesimus as a Brother

⁸ There is something that you should do. And because of your love in Christ, I feel free to order you to do it. ⁹ But because I love you, I am asking you instead. I, Paul, am an old man now, and a prisoner for Christ Jesus.
