Philemon 1:8-10 Therefore, although in the fellowship of Christ I have enough boldness to order you to do the proper thing,

AUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁸ Therefore, although in [the fellowship of] Christ I have enough boldness to order you to do the proper thing, ⁹ yet out of [mutual] love, I appeal to you [to do what I ask]. For I Paul, am an old man, and now also a prisoner of Christ Jesus. [Note: Most calculations suggest that Paul was approximately 60 years old, which was considered a relatively advanced age in that day]. ¹⁰ I appeal to you on behalf of my son, Onesimus, whom I [spiritually] conceived while [here] in prison.
