and
fellowlabourer
,
Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus
, and Timothy our brother, to
Philemon ,
our beloved fellow
worker

And
to our
beloved Apphia, and
Archippus our fellowsoldier
, and to the church
in thy
house:

beloved Apphia, to
Archippus ,
our fellow
soldier
, and to the assembly

house:
Grace to you ,
and peace ,
from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
I thank my God, making mention of thee
always
in my prayers,
I thank my God always
, making mention of you
in my prayers,
Hearing of thy
love and faith ,
which thou
hast
toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints;
hearing of your
love ,
and of
the
faith which you
have
toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all the
saints;
That the communication
of thy
faith may become effectual
by
the acknowledging
of every good thing which is in you
in Christ Jesus.
that the fellowship
of your
faith may become effective,
in
the knowledge
of every good thing which is in us
in Christ Jesus.
For we have great
joy and consolation
in thy
love, because the bowels
of the saints are
refreshed by
thee
, brother.
For we have much
joy and comfort
in your
love, because the hearts
of the saints have
been
refreshed through
you
, brother.
Wherefore
, though I might
be
much
bold
in Christ to enjoin
thee
that which is convenient
,
Therefore
, though I have
all
boldness
in Christ to command
you
that which is appropriate
,
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.
yet for love's sake I rather beg
, being such a
one as Paul ,
the aged, but
also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.
I beseech
thee
for my son
Onesimus
, whom I have begotten
in my bonds:
I beg
you
for my child
, whom I have become
the
father
of
in my chains,
Onesimus,
Which
in
time
past
was to thee
unprofitable
, but now profitable
to thee
and to me :
who
once
was useless
to you
, but now is
useful
to you
and to me .
Whom
I have
sent
again:
thou
therefore receive him, that is, mine
own bowels:
I am
sending
him
back.
Therefore receive him, that is, my
own heart,
Whom I would
have
retained
with me, that in
thy
stead
he might have
ministered
unto
me in the
bonds
of
the gospel :
whom I desired
to
keep
with me, that on
your
behalf
he might serve
me in my
chains
for
the Gospel .
But without
thy
mind
would
I do nothing ;
that thy
benefit
should
not be as it
were
of necessity, but willingly
.
But I was
willing
to
do nothing without
your
consent,
that your
goodness
would
not be as of necessity, but of
free
will
.
For perhaps he therefore departed
for a season
, that thou
shouldest
receive
him for
ever;
For perhaps he was
therefore separated
from
you
for a while
, that you
would
have
him forever,
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 ?
no
longer
as a slave
, but more
than
a slave
, a beloved brother
, especially
to me, but how much rather
to
you
, both in the flesh and in the Lord .
If thou
count me therefore
a partner, receive him as myself
.
If then
you
count me a partner, receive him as you
would
receive
me
.
If he hath
wronged thee
, or oweth
thee
ought
, put that on
mine
account ;
But
if he has
wronged you
at
all
, or owes
you
anything
, put that to
my
account .
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.
I ,
Paul ,
write
this
with my
own hand :
I will repay it (
not to mention
to
you
that
you
owe
to
me even your
own self besides )
.
Yea
, brother, let me have joy of
thee
in the Lord :
refresh my bowels
in the Lord.
Yes
, brother, let me have joy from
you
in the Lord .
Refresh my heart
in the Lord.
Having confidence in thy
obedience I wrote
unto
thee
, knowing that thou
wilt
also
do more
than
I say.
Having confidence in your
obedience ,
I write
to
you
, knowing that you
will
do even
beyond
what
I say.
But
withal
prepare
me
also a lodging:
for I trust
that through your prayers I shall
be given
unto
you.
Also ,
prepare
a guest
room
for me,
for
I hope
that through your prayers I will
be restored
to
you.
There
salute
thee
Epaphras, my fellowprisoner
in Christ Jesus ;
Epaphras, my fellow
prisoner
in Christ Jesus ,
greets
you,
Marcus
, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas
, my fellowlabourers
.
as
do
Mark
, Aristarchus, Demas, and
Luke
, my fellow
workers
.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
