Philemon 1:12 in Context — Philemon 1

10 Je te prie pour mon enfant, que j’ai engendré étant dans les chaînes, Onésime,

11 qui autrefois t’a été inutile, mais qui maintenant est utile, et à toi et à moi.

12 Je te le renvoie lui, mes propres entrailles.

13 J’aurais désiré le retenir auprès de moi, pour qu’il me servît à ta place, pendant que je suis dans les chaînes pour l’Évangile.

14 Toutefois, je n’ai rien voulu faire sans ton avis, afin que ton bienfait ne soit pas comme forcé, mais qu’il soit volontaire.
