Bible verse
So although in Christ I am bold enough to order you to do what is proper,
Philemon 1:8 · BSB
The verses around it, from Philemon 1.
4 I always thank my God, remembering you in my prayers,
5 because I hear about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints.
6 I pray that your partnership in the faith may become effective as you fully acknowledge every good thing that is ours in Christ.
7 I take great joy and encouragement in your love, because you, brother, have refreshed the hearts of the saints.
8 So although in Christ I am bold enough to order you to do what is proper,
9 I prefer to appeal on the basis of love. For I, Paul, am now aged, and a prisoner of Christ Jesus as well.
10 I appeal to you for my child Onesimus, whose father I became while I was in chains.
11 Formerly he was useless to you, but now he has become useful both to you and to me.
12 I am sending back to you him who is my very heart.
