Philemon 9-11
Contemporary English Version

9 But I would rather ask you to do it simply because of love. Yes, as someone[a] in jail for Christ, 10 (A) I beg you to help Onesimus![b] He is like a son to me because I led him to Christ here in jail. 11 Before this, he was useless to you, but now he is useful both to you and to me.
