Book 57 : PHILEMON - Chapter 001

001:001

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

001:002

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

001:003

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

001:004

I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers

001:005

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

001:006

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

001:007

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

001:008

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

001:009

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

001:010

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

001:011

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

001:012

Whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive him, that is, mine own bowels

001:013

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

001:014

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

001:015

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

001:016

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

001:017

If thou count me therefore a partner, receive him as myself

001:018

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

001:019

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

001:020

Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord: refresh my bowels in the Lord

001:021

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

001:022

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

001:023

There salute thee Epaphras, my fellowprisoner in Christ Jesus

001:024

Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas, my fellowlabourers

001:025

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