Philemon 12-14

Worldwide English (New Testament)

¹² I am sending him back to you and it is like sending you my own heart.

¹³ I would like to keep him with me. He can help me while I am in prison for the sake of the good news. That would be just as if you were here to help me.

¹⁴ But I did not want to do anything unless you agreed. I did not want you to do this because you were forced to do it, but because you wanted to do it.
