Titus 3:12 ¶ When I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, make every effort to come to me at Nicopolis, for I have decided to spend the winter there.
Titus 3:13 Diligently help Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their way so that nothing is lacking for them.
Titus 3:14 Our people must also learn to engage in good deeds to meet pressing needs, so that they will not be unfruitful.
Titus 3:15 ¶ All who are with me greet you. Greet those who love us in the faith. ¶ Grace be with you all.
Philem 1:1 Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, ¶ To Philemon our beloved brother and fellow worker,
Philem 1:2 and to Apphia our sister, and to Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the church in your house:
Philem 1:3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Philem 1:4 ¶ I thank my God always, making mention of you in my prayers,
Philem 1:5 because I hear of your love and of the faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints;
Philem 1:6and I pray that the fellowship of your faith may become effective through the knowledge of every good thing which is in you for Christ's sake.
Philem 1:7 For I have come to have much joy and comfort in your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you, brother.
Philem 1:8 ¶ Therefore, though I have enough confidence in Christ to order you to do what is proper,
Philem 1:9 yet for love's sake I rather appeal to you --since I am such a person as Paul, the aged, and now also a prisoner of Christ Jesus--
Philem 1:10 I appeal to you for my child Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my imprisonment,
Philem 1:11 who formerly was useless to you, but now is useful both to you and to me.
Philem 1:12 I have sent him back to you in person, that is, sending my very heart,
Philem 1:13 whom I wished to keep with me, so that on your behalf he might minister to me in my imprisonment for the gospel;
Philem 1:14 but without your consent I did not want to do anything, so that your goodness would not be, in effect, by compulsion but of your own free will.
Philem 1:15 For perhaps he was for this reason separated from you for a while, that you would have him back forever,
Philem 1:16 no longer as a slave, but more than a slave, a beloved brother, especially to me, but how much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.
