Philemon 1:12 in Context — Philemon 1

10 Eu te peço por meu filho Onésimo, ao qual eu gerei durante minhas prisões.

11 Aquele que antes te era inútil, mas agora útil para mim e para ti, eu o enviei de volta;

12 E tu, como os meus mais íntimos sentimentos, recebe-o;

13 Eu [até que] gostaria de retê-lo comigo, para que como teu [substituto] ele me servisse nas prisões do Evangelho;

14 Mas eu nada quis fazer sem tua opinião, para que tua bondade não fosse como que por obrigação, mas sim de livre vontade.
