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.]
