Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, To Philemon our beloved fellow worker,
Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timotheus the brother, to Philemon our beloved and fellow - worker,
to Apphia our sister , to Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the church that meets at your house:
and Apphia the beloved , and Archippus our fellow - soldier, and the assembly in thy house:
Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ .
Grace to you , and peace, from God our Father , and the Lord Jesus Christ !
I always thank my God, remembering you in my prayers,
I give thanks to my God, always making mention of thee in my prayers,
because I hear about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints .
hearing of thy love and faith that thou hast unto the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints ,
I pray that your partnership in the faith may become effective as you fully acknowledge every good thing that is ours in Christ .
that the fellowship of thy faith may become working in the full knowledge of every good thing that ` is ' in you toward Christ Jesus;
I take great joy and encouragement in your love, because you, brother, have refreshed the hearts of the saints.
for we have much joy and comfort in thy love, because the bowels of the saints have been refreshed through thee, brother .
So although in Christ I am bold enough to order you to do what is proper,
Wherefore, having in Christ much boldness to command thee that which is fit --
I prefer to appeal on the basis of love . For I, Paul , am now aged, and a prisoner of Christ Jesus as well.
because of the love I rather entreat , being such an one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ;
I appeal to you for my child Onesimus, whose father I became while I was in chains.
I entreat thee concerning my child -- whom I did beget in my bonds -- Onesimus,
Formerly he was useless to you , but now he has become useful both to you and to me.
who once was to thee unprofitable , and now is profitable to me and to thee,
I am sending back to you him who is my very heart.
whom I did send again, and thou him (that is , my own bowels) receive,
I would have liked to keep him with me , so that on your behalf he could minister to me in my chains for the gospel.
whom I did wish to retain to myself , that in thy behalf he might minister to me in the bonds of the good news,
But I did not want to do anything without your consent , so that your goodness will not be out of compulsion , but by your own free will.
and apart from thy mind I willed to do nothing , that as of necessity thy good deed may not be, but of willingness,
For perhaps this is why he was separated from you for a while , so that you might have him back for good—
for perhaps because of this he did depart for an hour , that age-duringly thou mayest have him ,
no longer as a slave , but better than a slave, as a beloved brother . He is especially beloved to me, but even more so to you , both in person and in the Lord .
no more as a servant , but above a servant -- a brother beloved , especially to me, and how much more to thee , both in the flesh and in the Lord !
So if you consider me a partner , receive him as you would receive me .
If , then, with me thou hast fellowship , receive him as me ,
But if he has wronged you in any way or owes you anything, charge it to my account.
and if he did hurt to thee, or doth owe anything, this to me be reckoning;
I, Paul , write this with my own hand . I will repay it— not to mention that you owe me your very self .
I, Paul did write with my hand , I -- I will repay ; that I may not say that also thyself, besides, to me thou dost owe .
Yes, brother, let me have some benefit from you in the Lord . Refresh my heart in Christ.
Yes, brother, may I have profit of thee in the Lord ; refresh my bowels in the Lord;
Confident of your obedience , I write to you , knowing that you will do even more than I ask.
having been confident in thy obedience I did write to thee , having known that also above what I may say thou wilt do;
In the meantime, prepare a guest room for me, because I hope that through your prayers I will be restored to you.
and at the same time also prepare for me a lodging , for I hope that through your prayers I shall be granted to you.
Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, sends you greetings,
Salute thee doth Epaphras, ( my fellow -captive in Christ Jesus, )
as do Mark , Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke , my fellow workers.
Markus , Aristarchus, Demas, Lukas , my fellow -workmen!
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ `is' with your spirit ! Amen .
