Philemon 1:6-12 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

6. That the communication of thy faith may be made evident in the acknowledgment of every good work, that is in you in Christ Jesus.

7. For I have had great joy and consolation in thy charity, because the bowels of the saints have been refreshed by thee, brother.

8. Wherefore though I have much confidence in Christ Jesus, to command thee that which is to the purpose:

9. For charity sake I rather beseech, whereas thou art such a one, as Paul an old man, and now a prisoner also of Jesus Christ.

10. I beseech thee for my son, whom I have begotten in my bands, Onesimus,

11. Who hath been heretofore unprofitable to thee, but now is profitable both to me and thee,

12. Whom I have sent back to thee. And do thou receive him as my own bowels.
