<p class="p"><span class="v" id="v1_1">1</span> Paul, a prisoner of Christ<a class="noteref" id="fnref1_1" href="#fn1_1"><sup>*</sup></a> Jesus, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon, our beloved fellow worker, <span class="v" id="v1_2">2</span> to the beloved Apphia, to Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the assembly in your house: <span class="v" id="v1_3">3</span> Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.</p>
|
||
<p class="p"><span class="v" id="v1_4">4</span> I thank my God always, making mention of you in my prayers, <span class="v" id="v1_5">5</span> hearing of your love and of the faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints, <span class="v" id="v1_6">6</span> that the fellowship of your faith may become effective in the knowledge of every good thing which is in us in Christ Jesus. <span class="v" id="v1_7">7</span> For we have much joy and comfort in your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you, brother.</p>
|

<p class="p"><span class="v" id="v1_8">8</span> Therefore though I have all boldness in Christ to command you that which is appropriate, <span class="v" id="v1_9">9</span> yet for love’s sake I rather appeal to you, being such a one as Paul, the aged, but also a prisoner of Jesus Christ. <span class="v" id="v1_10">10</span> I appeal to you for my child Onesimus, whom I have become the father of in my chains,<a class="noteref" id="fnref1_2" href="#fn1_2"><sup>†</sup></a> <span class="v" id="v1_11">11</span> who once was useless to you, but now is useful to you and to me. <span class="v" id="v1_12">12</span> I am sending him back. Therefore receive him, that is, my own heart, <span class="v" id="v1_13">13</span> whom I desired to keep with me, that on your behalf he might serve me in my chains for the Good News. <span class="v" id="v1_14">14</span> But I was willing to do nothing without your consent, that your goodness would not be as of necessity, but of free will. <span class="v" id="v1_15">15</span> For perhaps he was therefore separated from you for a while that you would have him forever, <span class="v" id="v1_16">16</span> no 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.</p>

<p class="p"><span class="v" id="v1_17">17</span> If then you count me a partner, receive him as you would receive me. <span class="v" id="v1_18">18</span> But if he has wronged you at all or owes you anything, put that to my account. <span class="v" id="v1_19">19</span> I, 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). <span class="v" id="v1_20">20</span> Yes, brother, let me have joy from you in the Lord. Refresh my heart in the Lord.</p>
|
||
<p class="p"><span class="v" id="v1_21">21</span> Having confidence in your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even beyond what I say.</p>
|
||
<p class="p"><span class="v" id="v1_22">22</span> Also, prepare a guest room for me, for I hope that through your prayers I will be restored to you.</p>
|
||
<p class="p"><span class="v" id="v1_23">23</span> Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, greets you, <span class="v" id="v1_24">24</span> as do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers.</p>
|
||
<p class="p"><span class="v" id="v1_25">25</span> The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.</p>
