Philemon 12-14

New American Standard Bible

¹² I have sent him back to you in person, that is, sending my very heart, ¹³ whom I wanted to keep with me, so that in your behalf he might be at my service in my ^[a](A)imprisonment for the gospel; ¹⁴ but I did not want to do anything without your consent, so that your goodness would ^(B)not be, in effect, by compulsion, but of your own free will.
