Philemon 8-10

Tree of Life Version

Request for Philemon’s Runaway

⁸ Therefore, though I have plenty of boldness in Messiah to order you to do what’s right, ⁹ yet for love’s sake I appeal to you instead. I, Paul, am an old man and now also a prisoner belonging to Messiah Yeshua. ¹⁰ I beg you for my child Onesimus—for whom I became a spiritual father while in chains.
