Philemon

Chapter 1

1 PAUL, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and brother Ti-mo'the-us, unto Phi-le'mon our dearly beloved and our fellow-worker,

2 And to our beloved Ap'phi-a and Archip'pus our fellow-labourer, and to the congregation in your house:

3 Grace be with you, and peace, from God our Father and our LORD Jesus Christ.

4 I thank my God, and always make mention of you in my prayers,

5 Since I have heard of your faith and love, which you have toward our LORD Jesus, and toward all saints;

6 That the participation of your faith may bear fruits in works, and in knowledge of everything that is good which you have in Jesus Christ.

7 For we have great joy and consolation in your love, and the hearts of the saints are refreshed.

8 For this reason, I have great boldness in Christ, to command of you those things which are right,

9 And for love's sake I earnestly beseech you; even I, Paul, an old man as you know, and now also a prisoner for the sake of Jesus Christ.

10 I beseech you on behalf of my son Ones'i- mus, whom I converted during my imprisonment:

11 But of whom in the past you could not make use, but now he is very useful both to you and to me.

12 I send him to you again: welcome him as my own boy:

13 For I would have kept him with me to minister to me in your place during my imprisonment for the gospel:

14 But I did not wish to do anything without consulting you, that your good deeds might not be done as though by compulsion, but of your own desire.

15 Perhaps this was the reason why he left you for a while, that you can now engage him for ever;

16 Henceforth not as a servant, but more than a servant, a brother beloved, specially to me, and much more to you, both in the flesh and in our LORD.

17 Now, therefore, if you still count me a partner, welcome him as you would me.

18 And if he has caused you any loss, or if he owes you anything, put it on my account:

19 I, Paul, have written this with my own hand; I will repay it, not reminding you that you owe to me even your own life.

20 Indeed, my brother, let me have comfort through you in our LORD: refresh my heart in Christ.

21 Because I have confidence in your obedience, I wrote to you, knowing that you will also do more than I ask.

22 In addition to all this, prepare me a lodging; for I hope that through your prayers I shall be spared to come to you.

23 Ep'a-phras, my fellow prisoner in Jesus Christ, salutes you;

24 So do Mark, Ar-is-tar'chus, De'mas, and Luke, my fellow-workers.

25 The grace of our LORD Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.

2 And2532 to our beloved27 Apphia,682 and2532 Archippus751 our2257 fellow soldier,4961 and2532 to the3588 church1577 in2596 thy4675 house: 3624

3 Grace5485 to you,5213 and2532 peace,1515 from575 God2316 our2257 Father3962 and2532 the Lord2962 Jesus2424 Christ.5547

4 I thank2168 my3450 God,2316 making4160 mention3417 of thee4675 always3842 in1909 my3450 prayers,4335

5 Hearing191 of thy4675 love26 and2532 faith,4102 which3739 thou hast2192 toward4314 the3588 Lord2962 Jesus,2424 and2532 toward1519 all3956 saints;40

6 That3704 the3588 communication2842 of thy4675 faith4102 may become1096 effectual1756 by1722 the acknowledging1922 of every3956 good thing18 which3588 is in1722 you5213 in1519 Christ5547 Jesus.2424

7 For1063 we have2192 great4183 joy5485 and2532 consolation3874 in1909 thy4675 love,26 because3754 the3588 bowels4698 of the3588 saints40 are refreshed373 by1223 thee,4675 brother.80

8 Wherefore,1352 though I might be2192 much4183 bold3954 in1722 Christ5547 to enjoin2004 thee4671 that which is convenient,433

9 Yet for love's sake1223 26 I rather3123 beseech3870 thee, being5607 such a one5108 as5613 Paul3972 the aged,4246 and1161 now3570 also2532 a prisoner1198 of Jesus2424 Christ.5547

10 I beseech3870 thee4571 for4012 my1699 son5043 Onesimus,3682 whom3739 I have begotten1080 in1722 my3450 bonds: 1199

11 Which3588 in time past4218 was to thee4671 unprofitable,890 but1161 now3570 profitable2173 to thee4671 and2532 to me: 1698

12 Whom3739 I have sent again:375 thou4771 therefore1161 receive4355 him,846 that is,5123 mine own1699 bowels: 4698

13 Whom3739 I1473 would1014 have retained2722 with4314 me,1683 that2443 in thy stead5228 4675 he might have ministered unto1247 me3427 in1722 the3588 bonds1199 of the3588 gospel: 2098

14 But1161 without5565 thy4674 mind1106 would2309 I do4160 nothing;3762 that2443 thy4675 benefit18 should not3361 be5600 as it were5613 of2596 necessity,318 but235 willingly.2596 1595

15 For1063 perhaps5029 he therefore1223 5124 departed5563 for4314 a season,5610 that2443 thou shouldest receive568 him846 forever;166

16 Not now3765 as5613 a servant,1401 but235 above5228 a servant,1401 a brother80 beloved,27 especially3122 to me,1698 but1161 how much4214 more3123 unto thee,4671 both2532 in1722 the flesh4561 and2532 in1722 the Lord?2962

17 If1487 thou count2192 me1691 therefore3767 a partner,2844 receive4355 him846 as5613 myself.1691

18 1161 If1487 he hath wronged91 thee,4571 or2228 oweth3784 thee aught,5100 put that on mine account;1677 5124 1698

19 I1473 Paul3972 have written1125 it with mine own1699 hand,5495 I1473 will repay661 it: albeit2443 I do not3361 say3004 to thee4671 how3754 thou owest4359 unto me3427 even2532 thine own self4572 besides.

20 Yea,3483 brother,80 let me1473 have joy3685 of thee4675 in1722 the Lord:2962 refresh373 my3450 bowels4698 in1722 the Lord.2962

21 Having confidence3982 in thy4675 obedience5218 I wrote1125 unto thee,4671 knowing1492 that3754 thou wilt also2532 do4160 more than5228 3739 I say.3004

22 But1161 withal260 prepare2090 me3427 also2532 a lodging:3578 for1063 I trust1679 that3754 through1223 your5216 prayers4335 I shall be given5483 unto you.5213

23 There salute782 thee4571 Epaphras,1889 my3450 fellow prisoner4869 in1722 Christ5547 Jesus;2424

24 Mark,3138 Aristarchus,708 Demas,1214 Luke,3065 my3450 fellow laborers.4904

25 The3588 grace5485 of our2257 Lord2962 Jesus2424 Christ5547 be with3326 your5216 spirit.4151 Amen.281

2 And to our beloved Ap'phi-a and Archip'pus our fellow-labourer, and to the congregation in your house:

2 And2532 to our beloved27 Apphia,682 and2532 Archippus751 our2257 fellow soldier,4961 and2532 to the3588 church1577 in2596 thy4675 house: 3624

3 Grace be with you, and peace, from God our Father and our LORD Jesus Christ.

3 Grace5485 to you,5213 and2532 peace,1515 from575 God2316 our2257 Father3962 and2532 the Lord2962 Jesus2424 Christ.5547

4 I thank my God, and always make mention of you in my prayers,

4 I thank2168 my3450 God,2316 making4160 mention3417 of thee4675 always3842 in1909 my3450 prayers,4335

5 Since I have heard of your faith and love, which you have toward our LORD Jesus, and toward all saints;

5 Hearing191 of thy4675 love26 and2532 faith,4102 which3739 thou hast2192 toward4314 the3588 Lord2962 Jesus,2424 and2532 toward1519 all3956 saints;40

6 That the participation of your faith may bear fruits in works, and in knowledge of everything that is good which you have in Jesus Christ.

6 That3704 the3588 communication2842 of thy4675 faith4102 may become1096 effectual1756 by1722 the acknowledging1922 of every3956 good thing18 which3588 is in1722 you5213 in1519 Christ5547 Jesus.2424

7 For we have great joy and consolation in your love, and the hearts of the saints are refreshed.

7 For1063 we have2192 great4183 joy5485 and2532 consolation3874 in1909 thy4675 love,26 because3754 the3588 bowels4698 of the3588 saints40 are refreshed373 by1223 thee,4675 brother.80

8 For this reason, I have great boldness in Christ, to command of you those things which are right,

8 Wherefore,1352 though I might be2192 much4183 bold3954 in1722 Christ5547 to enjoin2004 thee4671 that which is convenient,433

9 And for love's sake I earnestly beseech you; even I, Paul, an old man as you know, and now also a prisoner for the sake of Jesus Christ.

9 Yet for love's sake1223 26 I rather3123 beseech3870 thee, being5607 such a one5108 as5613 Paul3972 the aged,4246 and1161 now3570 also2532 a prisoner1198 of Jesus2424 Christ.5547

10 I beseech you on behalf of my son Ones'i- mus, whom I converted during my imprisonment:

10 I beseech3870 thee4571 for4012 my1699 son5043 Onesimus,3682 whom3739 I have begotten1080 in1722 my3450 bonds: 1199

11 But of whom in the past you could not make use, but now he is very useful both to you and to me.

11 Which3588 in time past4218 was to thee4671 unprofitable,890 but1161 now3570 profitable2173 to thee4671 and2532 to me: 1698

12 I send him to you again: welcome him as my own boy:

12 Whom3739 I have sent again:375 thou4771 therefore1161 receive4355 him,846 that is,5123 mine own1699 bowels: 4698

13 For I would have kept him with me to minister to me in your place during my imprisonment for the gospel:

13 Whom3739 I1473 would1014 have retained2722 with4314 me,1683 that2443 in thy stead5228 4675 he might have ministered unto1247 me3427 in1722 the3588 bonds1199 of the3588 gospel: 2098

14 But I did not wish to do anything without consulting you, that your good deeds might not be done as though by compulsion, but of your own desire.

14 But1161 without5565 thy4674 mind1106 would2309 I do4160 nothing;3762 that2443 thy4675 benefit18 should not3361 be5600 as it were5613 of2596 necessity,318 but235 willingly.2596 1595

15 Perhaps this was the reason why he left you for a while, that you can now engage him for ever;

15 For1063 perhaps5029 he therefore1223 5124 departed5563 for4314 a season,5610 that2443 thou shouldest receive568 him846 forever;166

16 Henceforth not as a servant, but more than a servant, a brother beloved, specially to me, and much more to you, both in the flesh and in our LORD.

16 Not now3765 as5613 a servant,1401 but235 above5228 a servant,1401 a brother80 beloved,27 especially3122 to me,1698 but1161 how much4214 more3123 unto thee,4671 both2532 in1722 the flesh4561 and2532 in1722 the Lord?2962

17 Now, therefore, if you still count me a partner, welcome him as you would me.

17 If1487 thou count2192 me1691 therefore3767 a partner,2844 receive4355 him846 as5613 myself.1691

18 And if he has caused you any loss, or if he owes you anything, put it on my account:

18 1161 If1487 he hath wronged91 thee,4571 or2228 oweth3784 thee aught,5100 put that on mine account;1677 5124 1698

19 I, Paul, have written this with my own hand; I will repay it, not reminding you that you owe to me even your own life.

19 I1473 Paul3972 have written1125 it with mine own1699 hand,5495 I1473 will repay661 it: albeit2443 I do not3361 say3004 to thee4671 how3754 thou owest4359 unto me3427 even2532 thine own self4572 besides.

20 Indeed, my brother, let me have comfort through you in our LORD: refresh my heart in Christ.

20 Yea,3483 brother,80 let me1473 have joy3685 of thee4675 in1722 the Lord:2962 refresh373 my3450 bowels4698 in1722 the Lord.2962

21 Because I have confidence in your obedience, I wrote to you, knowing that you will also do more than I ask.

21 Having confidence3982 in thy4675 obedience5218 I wrote1125 unto thee,4671 knowing1492 that3754 thou wilt also2532 do4160 more than5228 3739 I say.3004

22 In addition to all this, prepare me a lodging; for I hope that through your prayers I shall be spared to come to you.

22 But1161 withal260 prepare2090 me3427 also2532 a lodging:3578 for1063 I trust1679 that3754 through1223 your5216 prayers4335 I shall be given5483 unto you.5213

23 Ep'a-phras, my fellow prisoner in Jesus Christ, salutes you;

23 There salute782 thee4571 Epaphras,1889 my3450 fellow prisoner4869 in1722 Christ5547 Jesus;2424

24 So do Mark, Ar-is-tar'chus, De'mas, and Luke, my fellow-workers.

24 Mark,3138 Aristarchus,708 Demas,1214 Luke,3065 my3450 fellow laborers.4904
