Phm 1:12 Whom I have sent again. Not only that he may make amends to thee for his wrong, but that thou mayst be able to treat him as a brother in Christ. Thou therefore receive him, that is, mine own bowels. Rather, "My very heart" (Revised Version). I am so much attached to him. To be unkind to him would wound Paul's very heart.
