For I, Paul, am now aged, and a prisoner of Christ Jesus as well.","10":"I appeal to you for my child Onesimus, whose father I became while I was in chains.","11":"Formerly he was useless to you, but now he has become useful both to you and to me.","12":"I am sending back to you him who is my very heart.","13":"I would have liked to keep him with me, so that on your behalf he could minister to me in my chains for the gospel.","14":"But I did not want to do anything without your consent, so that your goodness will not be out of compulsion, but by your own free will.","15":"For perhaps this is why he was separated from you for a while, so that you might have him back for good —","16":"no longer as a slave, but better than a slave, as a beloved brother. He is especially beloved to me, but even more so to you, both in person and in the Lord.","17":"So if you consider me a partner, receive him as you would receive me.","18":"But if he has wronged you in any way or owes you anything, charge it to my account.","19":"I, Paul, write this with my own hand. I will repay it— not to mention that you owe me your very self.","20":"Yes, brother, let me have some benefit from you in the Lord. Refresh my heart in Christ.","21":"Confident of your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even more than I ask.","22":"In the meantime, prepare a guest room for me, because I hope that through your prayers I will be restored to you.","23":"Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, sends you greetings,","24":"as do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers.","25":"The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit."},"extras":{"1":"{\"b\":[{\"t\":\"s\",\"n\":1,\"x\":\"Greetings from Paul and Timothy\"},{\"t\":\"r\",\"x\":\"(Philippians 1:1–2; Colossians 1:1–2)\"}],\"l\":[{\"o\":59,\"q\":0}]}","2":"{\"n\":[{\"o\":91,\"k\":\"f\",\"x\":\"You and Your are singular throughout this letter, except in verses 3, 22, and 25.\",\"s\":{\"it\":[[0,3],[8,12]]}}]}","4":"{\"b\":[{\"t\":\"s\",\"n\":1,\"x\":\"Philemon’s Faith and Love\"}]}","8":"{\"b\":[{\"t\":\"s\",\"n\":1,\"x\":\"Paul’s Appeal for Onesimus\"}]}","10":"{\"n\":[{\"o\":38,\"k\":\"f\",\"x\":\"Onesimus means useful (see verse 11) or beneficial (see verse 20).\",\"s\":{\"it\":[[0,8],[15,21],[40,50]]}}]}","20":"{\"n\":[{\"o\":38,\"k\":\"f\",\"x\":\"Greek onaimēn, a play on the name Onesimus\",\"s\":{\"it\":[[6,13],[34,42]]}}]}","23":"{\"b\":[{\"t\":\"s\",\"n\":1,\"x\":\"Additional Greetings\"}]}","25":"{\"n\":[{\"o\":55,\"k\":\"f\",\"x\":\"BYZ and TR include Amen.\",\"s\":{\"it\":[[19,24]]}}]}"}}}
