The Epistle of Paul to Philemon

Return to Index

Chapter 1

1


 

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

 

 

--

2


 

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

 

 

--

3


 

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

 

 

--

4


 

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

 

 

--

5


 

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

 

 

--

6


 

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

 

 

--

7


 

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

 

 

--

8


 

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

 

 

--

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.  

 

 

--

10


 

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

 

 

--

11


 

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

 

 

--

12


 

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

 

 

--

13


 

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

 

 

--

14


 

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

 

 

--

15


 

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

 

 

--

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?  

 

 

--

17


 

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

 

 

--

18


 

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

 

 

--

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.  

 

 

--

20


 

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

 

 

--

21


 

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

 

 

--

22


 

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

 

 

--

23


 

  There salute thee Epaphras, my fellowprisoner in Christ Jesus;  

 

 

--

24


 

  Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas, my fellowlabourers.  

 

 

--

25


 

  The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with your spirit. Amen. [Written from Rome to Philemon, by Onesimus a servant.]
