Philemon 8-14

Wycliffe Bible

⁸ For which thing I having much trust in Christ Jesus, to command to thee that that pertaineth to profit;

⁹ but I beseech more for charity, since thou art such as the old Paul, and now the bound of Jesus Christ.^[a]

¹⁰ I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I in bonds begat,

¹¹ which sometime was unprofitable to thee [which sometime was to thee unprofitable], but now profitable, both to thee and to me;

¹² whom I sent again to thee. And receive thou him as mine entrails;

¹³ whom I would withhold with me, that he should serve for thee to me in bonds of the gospel;

¹⁴ but without thy counsel I would not do any thing, that thy good should not be as of need, but willful.
