Young's Literal Translation
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
.
