Philemon 7-9

Complete Jewish Bible

⁷ For your love has given me much joy and encouragement. Brother, you have refreshed the hearts of God’s people.

⁸ Therefore, I would not hesitate, in union with the Messiah, to direct you to do the thing you ought to do. ⁹ But since I Sha’ul, am the kind of person I am, an old man and now for the Messiah Yeshua’s sake a prisoner besides, I prefer to appeal to you on the basis of love.
