Philemon 1:8-12 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

8. Therefore, although I have much boldness in Messiah to command you what is fitting,

9. because of love, I rather appeal – being such a one as Sha’ul, the aged, and now also a prisoner of יהושע Messiah –

10. I appeal to you for my child Onesimos, whom I brought forth while in my chains,

11. who formerly was of no use to you, but now is of good use to you and to me,

12. whom I sent back to you, and receive him, that is, my own tender affections,
