Philemon 7-9

Revised Geneva Translation

⁷ For we have great joy and encouragement in your love because by you, brother, the saints’ hearts are comforted.

⁸ Therefore, though I am very bold in Christ to command you that which is appropriate,

⁹ yet for love’s sake, rather, I exhort you (though I am as I am: old, and even now a prisoner for Jesus Christ)
