An Appeal for Onesimus
-
|Filemom 1:8| For this reason, although I have great boldness in Christ to command you to do what is right,
-
-
-
|Filemom 1:9| I appeal to you, instead, on the basis of love. I, Paul, as an elderly man 4 and now also as a prisoner of Christ Jesus,
-
-
-
|Filemom 1:10| appeal to you for my son, Onesimus. 5 I fathered 6 him while I was in chains.
