Philemon 12-14

Legacy Standard Bible

¹² I have sent him back to you in person, that is, my very heart, ¹³ whom I intended to keep with me, so that on your behalf he might minister to me in my ^(A)chains for the gospel, ¹⁴ but without your consent I did not want to do anything, so that your goodness would ^(B)not be, in effect, by compulsion but voluntarily.
