Philemon 12-14

New King James Version

¹² I am sending him ^[a]back. You therefore receive him, that is, my own ^[b]heart, ¹³ whom I wished to keep with me, that on your behalf he might minister to me in my chains for the gospel. ¹⁴ But without your consent I wanted to do nothing, ^(A)that your good deed might not be by compulsion, as it were, but voluntary.
