John 13:35 "By this shall all men know that you are my disciples, if you have love one for another."
Excerpts from the Book of Philemon:
"Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus ... to Philemon our dear friend and co-worker,
to Apphia our sister, to Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the church in your house:
I appeal to you on the basis of love...for my child, Onesimus.
I am sending him, as my own heart, back to you.
I am asking you to receive him back into your household, but not as a slave. As a brother.
If Onesimus has hurt you or cost you, I will pay the bill, although you do owe me your very self already.
This man Onesimus, whose name itself means useful, was useless for a while.
But if you will take him back as a beloved brother, Philemon, he will be more useful both to you and to me than you could ever have dreamed.
Do this for me, Philemon. Do this for Christ."
