Formerly he was useless to you, but now he has become useful both to you and to me.

  9. B. Philemon 8-14 I am sending him — who is my very heart — back to you. I would have liked to keep him with me so that he could take your place in helping me while I am in chains for the gospel. But I did not want to do anything without your consent, so that any favor you do will be spontaneous and not forced.

  15. D. Acts 16:1-5 so he circumcised him because of the Jews who lived in that area, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.
