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