Unchecked Copy BoxPhm 1:5 - hearing of thy love, and of the faith which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all the saints;
Unchecked Copy BoxPhm 1:6 - that the fellowship of thy faith may become effectual, in the knowledge of every good thing which is in you, unto Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhm 1:7 - For I had much joy and comfort in thy love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through thee, brother.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhm 1:8 - Wherefore, though I have all boldness in Christ to enjoin thee that which is befitting,

Unchecked Copy BoxPhm 1:10 - I beseech thee for my child, whom I have begotten in my bonds, Onesimus,
Unchecked Copy BoxPhm 1:11 - who once was unprofitable to thee, but now is profitable to thee and to me:
Unchecked Copy BoxPhm 1:12 - whom I have sent back to thee in his own person, that is, my very heart:
Unchecked Copy BoxPhm 1:13 - whom I would fain have kept with me, that in thy behalf he might minister unto me in the bonds of the gospel:
Unchecked Copy BoxPhm 1:14 - but without thy mind I would do nothing; that thy goodness should not be as of necessity, but of free will.

Unchecked Copy BoxPhm 1:19 - I Paul write it with mine own hand, I will repay it: that I say not unto thee that thou owest to me even thine own self besides.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhm 1:20 - Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord: refresh my heart in Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhm 1:21 - Having confidence in thine obedience I write unto thee, knowing that thou wilt do even beyond what I say.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhm 1:22 - But withal prepare me also a lodging: for I hope that through your prayers I shall be granted unto you.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhm 1:23 - Epaphras, my fellow-prisoner in Christ Jesus, saluteth thee;
Unchecked Copy BoxPhm 1:24 - and so do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, Luke, my fellow-workers.
