Philemon 7-9

Jubilee Bible 2000

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

⁸ ¶ Therefore, though I might be very bold in Christ to command thee that which is expedient,

⁹ yet for the sake of charity I rather beseech thee, being such a one as Paul the aged and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.
