Philemon 1:11 Which in time past was to you unprofitable, but now profitable to you and to me: St. Paul does not commend Onesimus for being profitable to himself, but to him and Philemon. He that is not good for himself is good for nobody: there our goodness must begin, but it must not stay there; do good to all, so be profitable to all. (W. Jones, D. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: Which in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now profitable to thee and to me:WEB: who once was useless to you, but now is useful to you and to me. |
