Philemon 1:12 in context

  1. 10I beseech thee for my child, whom I have begotten in my bonds, Onesimus,
  2. 11who once was unprofitable to thee, but now is profitable to thee and to me:
  3. 12whom I have sent back to thee in his own person, that is, my very heart:
  4. 13whom I would fain have kept with me, that in thy behalf he might minister unto me in the bonds of the gospel:
  5. 14but without thy mind I would do nothing; that thy goodness should not be as of necessity, but of free will.
