^ Phm 1.4: I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers,
^ Phm 1.5: Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints;
^ Phm 1.6: That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.
^ Phm 1.7: For we have great joy and consolation in thy love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother.
^ Phm 1.8: Wherefore, though I might be much bold in Christ to enjoin thee that which is convenient,

^ Phm 1.10: I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds:
^ Phm 1.11: Which in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now profitable to thee and to me:
^ Phm 1.12: Whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive him, that is, mine own bowels:
^ Phm 1.13: Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered unto me in the bonds of the gospel:

^ Phm 1.18: If he hath wronged thee, or oweth [thee] ought, put that on mine account;
^ Phm 1.19: I Paul have written [it] with mine own hand, I will repay [it]: albeit I do not say to thee how thou owest unto me even thine own self besides.
^ Phm 1.20: Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord: refresh my bowels in the Lord.
^ Phm 1.21: Having confidence in thy obedience I wrote unto thee, knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say.
^ Phm 1.22: But withal prepare me also a lodging: for I trust that through your prayers I shall be given unto you.
