Philemon 7-9
1599 Geneva Bible
7 For we have great joy and consolation in thy love, because by thee, brother, the Saints [a]bowels are comforted.
8 Wherefore, though I be very bold in Christ to command thee that which is convenient,
9 [b]Yet for love’s sake I rather beseech thee, though I be as I am, even Paul aged, and even now a prisoner for Jesus Christ.

- Philemon 1:7 Because thou didst so dutifully and cheerfully refresh the Saints, that they conceived inwardly a marvelous joy: for by this word (Bowels) is meant not only the inward feeling of wants and miseries that men have one of another’s state, but also that joy and comfort which entereth into the very bowels, as though the heart were refreshed and comforted.
- Philemon 1:9 An example of a Christian exercise and commendation for another man.
