Philemon 1:13 - WEB -SoulScript

10 I beg you for my child, whom I have become the father of in my chains, Onesimus,

11 who once was useless to you, but now is useful to you and to me.

12 I am sending him back. Therefore receive him, that is, my own heart,

13 whom I desired to keep with me, that on your behalf he might serve me in my chains for the Good News.

14 But I was willing to do nothing without your consent, that your goodness would not be as of necessity, but of free will.

15 For perhaps he was therefore separated from you for a while, that you would have him forever,

1:13Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered unto me in the bonds of the gospel:

1:13I would have liked to keep him with me so that he could take your place in helping me while I am in chains for the gospel.

1:13whom I would fain have kept with me, that in thy behalf he might minister unto me in the bonds of the gospel:

1:13Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered to me in the bands of the gospel:

1:13whom I was desirous of keeping with myself, that for thee he might minister to me in the bonds of the glad tidings;

1:13whom I would fain have kept with me, that in thy behalf he might minister unto me in the bonds of the gospel:

1:13Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered to me in the bonds of the gospel:

1:13whom I did wish to retain to myself, that in thy behalf he might minister to me in the bonds of the good news,

1:13Whom I would have retained with me, that in your stead he might have ministered to me in the bonds of the gospel:
