Philemon 1:16If then you count me a partner, receive him as you would receive me.
Philemon 1:9I beg you for my child, whom I have become the father of in my chains, Onesimus,Philemon 1:10who once was useless to you, but now is useful to you and to me.
Philemon 1:18I, Paul, write this with my own hand: I will repay it (not to mention to you that you owe to me even your own self besides).
