Philemon 1:8-12

That's why even though I'm brave enough in Christ to order you to do your duty,

I would rather ask you this favor out of love. Old Paul, now also a prisoner of Christ Jesus,

is appealing to you on behalf of Onesimus who became my adopted son during my imprisonment.

In the past he was of no use to you, but now he's useful to both you and me!

I send him to you with my fondest wishes.
