1 Paul, a prisoner of Anointed Jesus, and Timothy the brother, to Philemon the beloved one and fellow–worker of us,

2 and to Apphia the beloved one, and Archippus the fellow–soldier of us, and to the in house of thee congregation;

3 favor to you and peace from God a Father of us, and Lord Jesus Anointed.

4 I give thanks to the God of me always, a remembrance of the making in the prayers of me,

5 hearing of thee the love and the faith, which thou hast to the Lord Jesus and for all the holy ones;

6 that he fellowship of the faith of thee active may become by a knowledge of every good of the in us, in regard to Anointed Jesus.

7 Joy for we have much and consolation in the love of thee, because the bowels of the holy ones has been refreshed through thee, O brother.

8 Therefore much in Anointed boldness having to enjoin thee the becoming thing, Philemon

9 through the love rather I beseech; such a one being, as Paul an old man, now but also a prisoner of Jesus Anointed:

10 I beseech thee concerning of the of me child, whom I begot in the bonds of me, Onesimus,

11 that formerly to thee unprofitable, now but to thee and to me profitable, whom I sent back;

12 thou but him, that is the my bowels, do thou receive.

13 When I was wishing for myself to retain, so that on behalf of thee to me he might serve in the bonds of the glad tidings;

14 without but of the thy consent nothing I wished to do, so that not as according to constraint the good of thee might be, but according to willingness.

15 Perhaps for on account of this he was separated for an hour, so that an age him thou mightest receive;

16 no longer as a slave, but above a slave, a brother beloved, especially to me, by how much but more to thee, both in flesh and in Lord.

17 If then me thou holdest a partner, receive thou him as me.

18 If but any thing he wronged thee, or owes, this to me put thou on account.

19 I Paul wrote with the my hand; I will pay off; so that not I may say to thee, that even thyself to me thou owest.

20 Yes, O brother, I of thee should be profited in Lord; refresh thou of me the bowels in Anointed.

21 Having confidence in the obedience of thee I wrote to thee, knowing, that even beyond what I may say thou wilt do.

22 At the same time but also prepare thou for me a lodging; I hope for, that through the prayers of you I shall be imparted to you.

23 Salutes thee Epaphras, the fellow–captive of me in Anointed Jesus, Philemon

24 Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, Luke, the fellow–workers of me. Philemon

25 The favor of the Lord of us Jesus Anointed with the spirit of you

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

2 and to Apphia, our sister, and to Archippus, our fellow soldier, and to the congregation in your house:

3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

4 I thank my God always, making mention of you in my prayers.

5 I hear about your love, and about the faith you have toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all the holy ones.

6 May the fellowship of your faith operate in the knowledge of every good thing that is in you for Jesus Christ.

7 For I have much joy and comfort in your love, because the hearts of the holy ones have been refreshed through you, brother.

8 I have all boldness in Christ to tell you what is appropriate.

9 Because of love I appeal to you, since I am Paul, the aged. I am also a prisoner of Christ Jesus.

10 I appeal to you for my child, Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my imprisonment.

11 He was once worthless to you, but now is useful to you and me.

12 I send him back to you, like sending my heart.

13 I would have kept him with me, that in your behalf he might minister to me in my imprisonment for the good news.

14 Without your agreement I would do nothing. Your goodness should not be out of necessity, but of free will.

15 Perhaps he was separated from you for a season, that you should have him forever.

16 He is no longer a servant. He is more than a servant. He is a beloved brother, especially to me, but also to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.

17 If you count me as a partner, receive him as you would me.

18 But if he has wronged you and owes you anything at all, charge this to me.

19 I Paul write with my own hand. I will repay. I do not say that you owe your own self life to me.

20 Yes, brother, let me have joy in you in the Lord. Refresh my heart in Christ.

21 I have confidence in your obedience. I write you, knowing that you will do beyond what I say.

22 Prepare a lodging for me. I hope that through your prayers I shall be given to you.

23 Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, greets you.

24 So do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers.

25 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is with your spirit mental dispositionattitude. Amen.
