philemon 1:11 Which in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now profitable to thee and to me:

philemon 1:11 who formerly was useless to you, but now is useful both to you and to me.

11. Which . . . was . . . unprofitable--belying his name Onesimus, which means "profitable." Not only was he "unprofitable," but positively injurious, having "wronged" his master. Paul uses a mild expression.
now profitable--Without godliness a man has no station. Profitable in spiritual, as well as in temporal things.

philemon 1:11 who formerly was useless to you, but now is useful both to you and to me.
