11  Paul a prisoner of Jesus Christ and Timothy our brother unto 
Philemon our dearly beloved and fellowlabourer .

12  And to our beloved Apphia and Archippus our fellowsoldier 
and to the church in thy house .

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

14  I thank my God making mention of thee always in my prayers .

15  Hearing of thy love and faith which thou hast toward the 
Lord Jesus and toward all saints .

16  That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by 
the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ 
Jesus .

17  For we have great joy and consolation in thy love because 
the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee brother .

18  Wherefore though I might be much bold in Christ to enjoin 
thee that which is convenient .

19  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 .

110  I beseech thee for my son Onesimus whom I have begotten in 
my bonds .

111  Which in time past was to thee unprofitable but now 
profitable to thee and to me .

112  Whom I have sent again thou therefore receive him that is 
mine own bowels .

113  Whom I would have retained with me that in thy stead he 
might have ministered unto me in the bonds of the gospel .

114  But without thy mind would I do nothing that thy benefit 
should not be as it were of necessity but willingly .

115  For perhaps he therefore departed for a season that thou 
shouldest receive him for ever .

116  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 .

117  If thou count me therefore a partner receive him as myself .

118  If he hath wronged thee or oweth thee ought put that on 
mine account .

119  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 .

120  Yea brother let me have joy of thee in the Lord refresh my 
bowels in the Lord .

121  Having confidence in thy obedience I wrote unto thee 
knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say .

122  But withal prepare me also a lodging for I trust that 
through your prayers I shall be given unto you .

123  There salute thee Epaphras my fellowprisoner in Christ 
Jesus .

124  Marcus Aristarchus Demas Lucas my fellowlabourers .

125  The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit Amen 
.
