10I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds:Select Philemon 1:10

12Whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive him, that is, mine own bowels:Select Philemon 1:12
13Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered unto me in the bonds of the gospel:Select Philemon 1:13
14But without thy mind would I do nothing; that thy benefit should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly.Select Philemon 1:14
