Philemon 1
Paul,
a
prisoner
of
Jesus
Christ,
and
Timothy
our
brother,
unto
Philemon
our
dearly
beloved,
and
fellowlabourer,
2 And
to
our
beloved
Apphia,
and
a
Archippus
our
fellowsoldier,
and
to
the
church
in
thy
house:
3 Grace
to
you,
and
peace,
from
God
our
Father
and
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ.
4 I
thank
my
God,
making
mention
of
thee
always
in
my
prayers,
5 Hearing
of
thy
love
and
faith,
which
thou
hast
toward
the
Lord
Jesus,
and
toward
all
saints;
6 That
the
a
communication
of
thy
faith
may
become
b
effectual
by
the
acknowledging
of
every
good
thing
which
is
in
you
in
Christ
Jesus.
7 For
we
have
great
joy
and
consolation
in
thy
love,
because
the
a
bowels
of
the
saints
are
refreshed
by
thee,
brother.
8 Wherefore,
though
I
might
be
much
bold
in
Christ
to
enjoin
thee
that
which
is
convenient,
9 Yet
for
love's
sake
I
rather
beseech
thee,
being
such
an
one
as
Paul
the
aged,
and
now
also
a
prisoner
of
Jesus
Christ.
10 I
beseech
thee
for
my
son
a
Onesimus,
whom
I
have
begotten
in
my
bonds:
11 Which
in
time
past
was
to
thee
unprofitable,
but
now
profitable
to
thee
and
to
me:
12 Whom
I
have
sent
again:
thou
therefore
receive
him,
that
is,
mine
own
bowels:
13 Whom
I
would
have
retained
with
me,
that
in
thy
stead
he
might
have
ministered
unto
me
in
the
bonds
of
the
gospel:
14 But
without
thy
a
mind
would
I
do
nothing;
that
thy
benefit
should
not
be
as
it
were
of
necessity,
but
willingly.
15 For
perhaps
he
therefore
departed
for
a
season,
that
thou
shouldest
receive
him
for
ever;
16 Not
now
as
a
servant,
but
above
a
servant,
a
a
brother
beloved,
specially
to
me,
but
how
much
more
unto
thee,
both
in
the
flesh,
and
in
the
Lord?
17 If
thou
count
me
therefore
a
partner,
receive
him
as
myself.
18 If
he
hath
wronged
thee,
or
oweth
thee
a
ought,
put
that
on
mine
account;
19 I
Paul
have
written
it
with
mine
own
hand,
I
will
repay
it:
albeit
I
do
not
say
to
thee
how
thou
owest
unto
me
even
thine
own
self
besides.
20 Yea,
brother,
let
me
have
joy
of
thee
in
the
Lord:
refresh
my
bowels
in
the
Lord.
21 Having
confidence
in
thy
obedience
I
wrote
unto
thee,
knowing
that
thou
wilt
also
do
more
than
I
say.
22 But
withal
prepare
me
also
a
lodging:
for
I
trust
that
through
your
a
prayers
I
shall
be
given
unto
you.
23 There
salute
thee
a
Epaphras,
my
fellowprisoner
in
Christ
Jesus;
24 Marcus,
Aristarchus,
a
Demas,
Lucas,
my
fellowlabourers.
25 The
grace
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
be
with
your
spirit.
Amen.
