Philemon 7-9

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁷ For I have had great joy and consolation in thy charity, because the bowels of the saints have been refreshed by thee, brother.

⁸ Wherefore though I have much confidence in Christ Jesus, to command thee that which is to the purpose:

⁹ For charity sake I rather beseech, whereas thou art such a one, as Paul an old man, and now a prisoner also of Jesus Christ.
