PHM 1:1 Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy our brother, unto *3972 *1198 *2424 *5547 *5095 *0080 Philemon our dearly beloved, and fellowlabourer, *5371 *0027 *4904 2 And to our beloved Apphia, and Archippus our fellowsoldier, and to the *0027 *0682 *0751 *4961 church in thy house: *1577 *3624 3 Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. *5485 *1515 *2316 *3962 *2962 *2424 *5547 4 I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers, *2168 *2316 *4160 *3417 *3842 *4335 5 Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and *0191 *0026 *4102 *3739 *2192 *4314 *2962 *2424 toward all saints; *1519 *3956 *0040 6 That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the *2842 *4102 *1096 *1756 acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus. *1922 *3956 *0018 *3588 *5547 *2424 7 For we have great joy and consolation in thy love, because the bowels of *2192 *4183 *5485 *3874 *0026 *3754 *4698 the saints are refreshed by thee, brother. *0040 *0373 *0080 8 Wherefore, though I might be much bold in Christ to enjoin thee that *1352 *4183 *3954 *5547 *2005 which is convenient, *0433 9 Yet for love's sake I rather beseech thee, being such an one as Paul the *0026 *3123 *3870 *5607 *5108 *3972 aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ. *4246 *3570 *2532 *1198 *2424 *5547 10 I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds: *3870 *5043 *3682 *3739 *1080 *1199 11 Which in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now profitable to thee *3588 *4218 *0890 *3570 *2173 and to me: 12 Whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive him, that is, mine own *3739 *0628 *0375 *4355 *1699 bowels: *4698 13 Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have *3739 *2722 *5228 ministered unto me in the bonds of the gospel: *1247 *1199 *2098 14 But without thy mind would I do nothing; that thy benefit should not *5565 *1106 *2309 *4160 *3762 *0018 be as it were of necessity, but willingly. *0318 *1595 15 For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest *5029 *5124 *5563 *5610 receive him for ever; *0568 *0166 16 Not now as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved, specially *3765 *1401 *5228 *1401 *0080 *0027 *3122 to me, but how much more unto thee, both in the flesh, and in the Lord? *4214 *4214 *3123 *2532 *4561 *2962 17 If thou count me therefore a partner, receive him as myself. *1487 *2192 *3767 *2844 *4355 *1691 18 If he hath wronged thee, or oweth thee ought, put that on mine *1487 *0091 *2228 *3784 *5100 *1677 *1677 *1699 account; *1677 19 I Paul have written it with mine own hand, I will repay it: albeit I do *3972 *1125 *5495 *0661 *2443 not say to thee how thou owest unto me even thine own self besides. *3004 *3754 *4359 *2532 *4572 *4572 *4572 *4359 20 Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord: refresh my bowels in *3483 *0080 *3685 *2962 *0373 *4698 the Lord. *2962 21 Having confidence in thy obedience I wrote unto thee, knowing that thou *3982 *5218 *1125 *1492 wilt also do more than I say. *2532 *4160 *5228 *5228 *3004 22 But withal prepare me also a lodging: for I trust that through your *0260 *2090 *2532 *3578 *1679 *1223 *5216 prayers I shall be given unto you. *4335 *5483 23 There salute thee Epaphras, my fellowprisoner in Christ Jesus; *0782 *1889 *4869 *5547 *2424 24 Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas, my fellowlabourers. *3138 *0708 *1214 *3065 *4904 25 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen. *5485 *2962 *2424 *5547 *5216 *4151 *0281 ~~~~~~
