Philemon 1:8-10 Devotionals, Articles & Bible Study

⁸So although in Christ I am bold enough to order you to do what is proper,

⁹I prefer to appeal on the basis of love. For I, Paul, am now aged, and a prisoner of Christ Jesus as well.

¹⁰I appeal to you for my child Onesimus, whose father I became while I was in chains.
