Philemon1-25 ¹Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy our brother, unto Philemon our dearly beloved, and fellowlabourer, ²And to our beloved Apphia, and Archippus our fellowsoldier, and to the church in thy house: ³Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

⁴I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers, ⁵Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; ⁶That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus. ⁷For we have great joy and consolation in thy love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother. ⁸Wherefore, though I might be much bold in Christ to enjoin thee that which is convenient, ⁹Yet for loves sake I rather beseech thee, being such an one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ. ¹⁰I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds: ¹¹Which in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now profitable to thee and to me: ¹²Whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive him, that is, mine own bowels: ¹³Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered unto me in the bonds of the gospel: ¹⁴But without thy mind would I do nothing; that thy benefit should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly. ¹⁵For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receive him for ever; ¹⁶Not 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? ¹⁷If thou count me therefore a partner, receive him as myself. ¹⁸If he hath wronged thee, or oweth thee ought, put that on mine account; ¹⁹I 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. ²⁰Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord: refresh my bowels in the Lord.

²¹Having confidence in thy obedience I wrote unto thee, knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say. ²²But withal prepare me also a lodging: for I trust that through your prayers I shall be given unto you.

²³There salute thee Epaphras, my fellowprisoner in Christ Jesus; ²⁴Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas, my fellowlabourers.

Philemon1-25 ¹Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon our beloved and fellow-worker, ²and to Apphia our sister, and to Archippus our fellow-soldier, and to the church in thy house: ³Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. ⁴I thank my God always, making mention of thee in my prayers, ⁵hearing of thy love, and of the faith which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all the saints; ⁶that the fellowship of thy faith may become effectual, in the knowledge of every good thing which is in you, unto Christ. ⁷For I had much joy and comfort in thy love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through thee, brother. ⁸Wherefore, though I have all boldness in Christ to enjoin thee that which is befitting, ⁹yet for love's sake I rather beseech, being such a one as Paul the aged, and now a prisoner also of Christ Jesus: ¹⁰I beseech thee for my child, whom I have begotten in my bonds, Onesimus, ¹¹who once was unprofitable to thee, but now is profitable to thee and to me: ¹²whom I have sent back to thee in his own person, that is, my very heart: ¹³whom I would fain have kept with me, that in thy behalf he might minister unto me in the bonds of the gospel: ¹⁴but without thy mind I would do nothing; that thy goodness should not be as of necessity, but of free will. ¹⁵For perhaps he was therefore parted from thee for a season, that thou shouldest have him for ever; ¹⁶no longer as a servant, but more than a servant, a brother beloved, specially to me, but how much rather to thee, both in the flesh and in the Lord. ¹⁷If then thou countest me a partner, receive him as myself. ¹⁸But if he hath wronged thee at all, or oweth thee aught, put that to mine account; ¹⁹I Paul write it with mine own hand, I will repay it: that I say not unto thee that thou owest to me even thine own self besides. ²⁰Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord: refresh my heart in Christ. ²¹Having confidence in thine obedience I write unto thee, knowing that thou wilt do even beyond what I say. ²²But withal prepare me also a lodging: for I hope that through your prayers I shall be granted unto you. ²³Epaphras, my fellow-prisoner in Christ Jesus, saluteth thee; ²⁴and so do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, Luke, my fellow-workers. ²⁵The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.

Philemon1-25 ¹PAUL, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and brother Timotheus, to Philemon our dearly beloved and our fellow worker, ²And to our beloved Apphia and Archippus our fellow labourer, and to the congregation in your house: ³Grace be with you and peace from God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁴I thank my God and always make mention of you in my prayers, ⁵Since I have heard of your faith and love, which you have toward our Lord Jesus and toward all saints, ⁶That the participation of your faith may bear fruits in works, and in knowledge of everything that is good which you have in Jesus Christ. ⁷For we have great joy and consolation in your love, and the hearts of the saints are refreshed.

⁸¶ For this reason, I have great boldness in Christ, to command to you those things which are right, ⁹And for love's sake I earnestly beseech you; even I, Paul, an old man as you know, and now also a prisoner for the sake of Jesus Christ. ¹⁰I beseech you on behalf of my son Onesimus, whom I converted during my imprisonment: ¹¹But of whom in the past you could not make use, but now he is very useful both to you and to me. ¹²I send him to you again; welcome him as my own child; ¹³For I would have kept him with me to minister to me in your place during my imprisonment for the gospel; ¹⁴But I did not wish to do anything without consulting you, that your good deeds might not be done as though by compulsion, but of your own desire. ¹⁵Perhaps this was the reason why he left you for a while, that you can now have him for ever; ¹⁶Henceforth not as a servant, but more than a servant, a brother beloved, specially to me, and much more to you, both in the flesh and in our Lord. ¹⁷Now, therefore, if you still count me a partner, welcome him as you would me. ¹⁸And if he has caused you any loss or if he owes you anything, put it on my account. ¹⁹I, Paul, have written this with my own hand; I will repay it, not reminding you that you owe to me even your own life. ²⁰Indeed, my brother, let me have comfort through you in our Lord; refresh my heart in Christ. ²¹Because I have confidence in your obedience, I wrote to you knowing that you will also do more than I ask. ²²In addition to all this, prepare me a lodging; for I hope that through your prayers I shall be spared to come to you. ²³Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Jesus Christ, salutes you; ²⁴So do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers. ²⁵The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen. (LAM)

Philemon1-25 ¹Paul, a prisoner for Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother,

To Phile'mon our beloved fellow worker ²and Ap'phia our sister and Archip'pus our fellow soldier, and the church in your house:

³Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

⁴I thank my God always when I remember you in my prayers, ⁵because I hear of your love and of the faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus and all the saints, ⁶and I pray that the sharing of your faith may promote the knowledge of all the good that is ours in Christ. ⁷For I have derived much joy and comfort from your love, my brother, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you.

⁸Accordingly, though I am bold enough in Christ to command you to do what is required, ⁹yet for love's sake I prefer to appeal to you--I, Paul, an ambassador and now a prisoner also for Christ Jesus-- ¹⁰I appeal to you for my child, Ones'imus, whose father I have become in my imprisonment. ¹¹(Formerly he was useless to you, but now he is indeed useful to you and to me.) ¹²I am sending him back to you, sending my very heart. ¹³I would have been glad to keep him with me, in order that he might serve me on your behalf during my imprisonment for the gospel; ¹⁴but I preferred to do nothing without your consent in order that your goodness might not be by compulsion but of your own free will.

¹⁵Perhaps this is why he was parted from you for a while, that you might have him back for ever, ¹⁶no longer as a slave but more than a slave, as a beloved brother, especially to me but how much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord. ¹⁷So if you consider me your partner, receive him as you would receive me. ¹⁸If he has wronged you at all, or owes you anything, charge that to my account. ¹⁹I, Paul, write this with my own hand, I will repay it--to say nothing of your owing me even your own self. ²⁰Yes, brother, I want some benefit from you in the Lord. Refresh my heart in Christ.

²¹Confident of your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even more than I say. ²²At the same time, prepare a guest room for me, for I am hoping through your prayers to be granted to you.

²³Ep'aphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, sends greetings to you, ²⁴and so do Mark, Aristar'chus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers.

²⁵The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. (RSV)

Philemon1-25 ¹Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, To Philemon our dear friend and fellow worker, ²to Apphia our sister, to Archippus our fellow soldier and to the church that meets in your home:

³Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

⁴I always thank my God as I remember you in my prayers, ⁵because I hear about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints. ⁶I pray that you may be active in sharing your faith, so that you will have a full understanding of every good thing we have in Christ. ⁷Your love has given me great joy and encouragement, because you, brother, have refreshed the hearts of the saints.

⁸Therefore, although in Christ I could be bold andorderyou to do what you ought to do, ⁹yet I appeal to you on the basis of love. I then, as Paul -- an old man and now also a prisoner of Christ Jesus-- ¹⁰I appeal to you for my son Onesimus, who became my son while I was in chains. ¹¹Formerly he was useless to you, but now he has become useful both to you and to me.

¹²I am sending him -- who is my very heard -- back to you. ¹³I would have liked to keep him with me so that hecouldtake your place in helping me whileI am inchains for the gospel. ¹⁴But that I did not want to do anything without your consent, so that any favor you do will be spontaneous and not forced. ¹⁵Perhaps the reason he was separated from you for a little while was that you might have him back for good ¹⁶no longer as a slave, but better than as slave, as a dear brother. He is very dear to me but even dearer to you, both as a man and as a brother in the Lord.

¹⁷So if you consider me a partner, welcome him as you would welcome me. ¹⁸If he has done you any wrong or owes you anything, charge it to me. ¹⁹I, Paul, am writing this with my own hand. I will pay it back - not to mention that you own me your very self. ²⁰I do wish, brother, that I may have some benefit from you in the Lord; refresh my heart in Christ. ²¹Confident of your obedience, I write to you, knowingthat you will do even more than I ask.

²²And one thing more: Prepare a guest room for me, because I hope to be restored to you in answer to your prayers.

²³Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, sends you greetings. ²⁴And so do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas and Luke, my fellow workers.

²⁵The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.(NIV)

Philemon1-25 ¹Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon, our beloved fellow worker, ²to the beloved Apphia, to Archippus, our fellow soldier, and to the assembly in your house: ³Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

⁴I thank my God always, making mention of you in my prayers, ⁵hearing of your love, and of the faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all the saints; ⁶that the fellowship of your faith may become effective, in the knowledge of every good thing which is in us in Christ Jesus. ⁷For we have much joy and comfort in your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you, brother.

⁸Therefore, though I have all boldness in Christ to command you that which is appropriate, ⁹yet for love's sake I rather beg, being such a one as Paul, the aged, but also a prisoner of Jesus Christ. ¹⁰I beg you for my child, whom I have become the father of in my chains, Onesimus, ¹¹who once was useless to you, but now is useful to you and to me. ¹²I am sending him back. Therefore receive him, that is, my own heart, ¹³whom I desired to keep with me, that on your behalf he might serve me in my chains for the Gospel. ¹⁴But I was willing to do nothing without your consent, that your goodness would not be as of necessity, but of free will. ¹⁵For perhaps he was therefore separated from you for a while, that you would have him forever, ¹⁶no longer as a slave, but more than a slave, a beloved brother, especially to me, but how much rather to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.

¹⁷If then you count me a partner, receive him as you would receive me. ¹⁸But if he has wronged you at all, or owes you anything, put that to my account. ¹⁹I, Paul, write this with my own hand: I will repay it (not to mention to you that you owe to me even your own self besides). ²⁰Yes, brother, let me have joy from you in the Lord. Refresh my heart in the Lord. ²¹Having confidence in your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even beyond what I say.

²²Also, prepare a guest room for me, for I hope that through your prayers I will be restored to you.

²³Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, greets you, ²⁴as do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers. ²⁵The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.(WEB)

Philemon1-25 ¹Paul, a prisoner of Messiah Yeshua, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon, our beloved fellow worker, ²to the beloved Apphia, to Archippus, our fellow soldier, and to the assembly in your house: ³Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Yeshua the Messiah.

⁴I thank my God always, making mention of you in my prayers, ⁵hearing of your love, and of the faith which you have toward the Lord Yeshua, and toward all the holy ones; ⁶that the fellowship of your faith may become effective, in the knowledge of every good thing which is in us in Messiah Yeshua. ⁷For we have much joy and comfort in your love, because the hearts of the holy ones have been refreshed through you, brother.

⁸Therefore, though I have all boldness in Messiah to command you that which is appropriate, ⁹yet for love's sake I rather beg, being such a one as Paul, the aged, but also a prisoner of Yeshua the Messiah. ¹⁰I beg you for my child, whom I have become the father of in my chains, Onesimus, ¹¹who once was useless to you, but now is useful to you and to me. ¹²I am sending him back. Therefore receive him, that is, my own heart, ¹³whom I desired to keep with me, that on your behalf he might serve me in my chains for the Good News. ¹⁴But I was willing to do nothing without your consent, that your goodness would not be as of necessity, but of free will. ¹⁵For perhaps he was therefore separated from you for a while, that you would have him forever, ¹⁶no longer as a slave, but more than a slave, a beloved brother, especially to me, but how much rather to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.

¹⁷If then you count me a partner, receive him as you would receive me. ¹⁸But if he has wronged you at all, or owes you anything, put that to my account. ¹⁹I, Paul, write this with my own hand: I will repay it (not to mention to you that you owe to me even your own self besides). ²⁰Yes, brother, let me have joy from you in the Lord.
