Philemon 12-14

EasyEnglish Bible

¹² So I am now sending him back to you. Because I love him, it is like I am sending you my own heart. ¹³ I wanted to keep him here with me, to help me on your behalf. I am in prison here because I taught people the good news about Jesus. ¹⁴ But I did not want to do anything unless you agreed. I wanted you to help me because you really want to help. I did not want to make you do it.
