Philemon 13-15

Revised Geneva Translation

¹³ whom I wanted to keep with me so that he might have ministered to me in your place in the bonds of the Gospel.

¹⁴ But I do not wish to do anything without your consent, so that your goodness would not be out of necessity, but willingly.

¹⁵ Therefore, it may be that he departed for a season so that you would receive him forever
