Philemon 12-14

American Standard Version

¹² whom I have sent back to thee in his own person, that is, my very heart: ¹³ whom I would fain have kept with me, that in thy behalf he might minister unto me in the bonds of the ^[a]gospel: ¹⁴ but without thy mind I would do nothing; that thy goodness should not be as of necessity, but of free will.
