Philemon 12-14

21st Century King James Version

¹² I am sending him back. Thou therefore receive him, who is mine own heart.

¹³ I would have retained him with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered unto me in the bonds of the Gospel;

¹⁴ but without thy mind would I do nothing, that thy goodness should not be, as it were, of necessity but willingly.
