American King James Version
"Which in time past was to you unprofitable, but now profitable to you and to me: "
— Philemon 1:11, American King James Version
“Which in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now profitable to thee and to me:”
“who once was unprofitable to thee, but now is profitable to thee and to me: ”
“who once was useless to you, but now is useful to you and to me.”
“who was formerly useless to you, but is now useful to you and me.”
“Who hath been heretofore unprofitable to thee but now is profitable both to me and thee:”
“Who in the past was of no profit to you, but now is of profit to you and to me:”
“Which in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now profitable to thee and to me:”
Why, though I might be much bold in Christ to enjoin you that which is convenient,
Yet for love’s sake I rather beseech you, being such an one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.
I beseech you for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds:
Which in time past was to you unprofitable, but now profitable to you and to me:
Whom I have sent again: you therefore receive him, that is, my own bowels:
Whom I would have retained with me, that in your stead he might have ministered to me in the bonds of the gospel:
But without your mind would I do nothing; that your benefit should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly.
