Philemon 11-13

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹¹ Once he was unprofitable to you, but now he is indeed profitable to you as well as to me.

¹² I am sending him back to you in ^[a]his own person, [and it is like sending] my very heart.

¹³ I would have chosen to keep him with me, in order that he might minister to my needs in your stead during my imprisonment for the Gospel’s sake.
