Philemon 1:9 in Context — Philemon 1
7 J’ai, en effet, éprouvé beaucoup de joie et de consolation au sujet de ta charité; car par toi, frère, le cœur des saints a été tranquillisé.
8 C’est pourquoi, bien que j’aie en Christ toute liberté de te prescrire ce qui est convenable,
9 c’est de préférence au nom de la charité que je t’adresse une prière, étant ce que je suis, Paul, vieillard, et de plus maintenant prisonnier de Jésus-Christ.
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.
