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