Philemon 9-11

Worldwide English (New Testament)

⁹ But because I love you, I would rather not tell you, but ask you to do this for me. I, Paul, am an old man and now I am in prison because I belong to Jesus Christ.

¹⁰ I am asking you to do something for my son. He became a Christian here in prison. This son is Onesimus.

¹¹ At one time he was no help to you. But now he is a big help to you and to me.
