Philemon - Chapter: 1
1:1 | Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy our brother, unto Philemon our dearly beloved, and fellowlabourer, |
1:2 | And to our beloved Apphia, and Archippus our fellowsoldier, and to the church in thy house: |
1:3 | Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. |
1:4 | I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers, |
1:5 | Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; |
1:6 | That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus. |
1:7 | For we have great joy and consolation in thy love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother. |
1:8 | Wherefore, though I might be much bold in Christ to enjoin thee that which is convenient, |
1:9 | 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. |
1:10 | I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds: |
1:11 | Which in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now profitable to thee and to me: |
1:12 | Whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive him, that is, mine own bowels: |
1:13 | Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered unto me in the bonds of the gospel: |
1:14 | But without thy mind would I do nothing; that thy benefit should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly. |
1:15 | For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receive him for ever; |
1:16 | 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? |
1:17 | If thou count me therefore a partner, receive him as myself. |
1:18 | If he hath wronged thee, or oweth thee ought, put that on mine account; |
1:19 | 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. |
1:20 | Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord: refresh my bowels in the Lord. |
1:21 | Having confidence in thy obedience I wrote unto thee, knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say. |
1:22 | But withal prepare me also a lodging: for I trust that through your prayers I shall be given unto you. |
1:23 | There salute thee Epaphras, my fellowprisoner in Christ Jesus; |
1:24 | Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas, my fellowlabourers. |
1:25 | The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen. |
1:1 | Paul a prisoner of Iesus Christ, and our brother Timotheus, vnto Philemon our deare friende, and fellowe helper, |
1:2 | And to our deare sister Apphia, and to Archippus our fellowe souldier, and to the Church that is in thine house: |
1:3 | Grace be with you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ. |
1:4 | I giue thanks to my God, making mention alwaies of thee in my praiers, |
1:5 | (When I heare of thy loue and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Iesus, and towarde all Saintes) |
1:6 | That the fellowship of thy faith may bee made effectuall, and that whatsoeuer good thing is in you through Christ Iesus, may be knowen. |
1:7 | For we haue great ioy and consolation in thy loue, because by thee, brother, the Saintes bowels are comforted. |
1:8 | Wherefore, though I bee very bolde in Christ to commaund thee that which is conuenient, |
1:9 | Yet for loues sake I rather beseeche thee, though I be as I am, euen Paul aged, and euen nowe a prisoner for Iesus Christ. |
1:10 | I beseeche thee for my sonne Onesimus, whome I haue begotten in my bondes, |
1:11 | Which in times past was to thee vnprofitable, but nowe profitable both to thee and to me, |
1:12 | Whome I haue sent againe: thou therefore receiue him, that is mine owne bowels, |
1:13 | Whom I woulde haue reteined with mee, that in thy steade he might haue ministred vnto me in the bondes of the Gospel. |
1:14 | But without thy minde woulde I doe nothing, that thy benefite should not be as it were of necessitie, but willingly. |
1:15 | It may be that he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receiue him for euer, |
1:16 | Not now as a seruant, but aboue a seruant, euen as a brother beloued, specially to me: howe much more then vnto thee, both in the flesh and in the Lord? |
1:17 | If therefore thou count our thinges common, receiue him as my selfe. |
1:18 | If he hath hurt thee, or oweth thee ought, that put on mine accounts. |
1:19 | I Paul haue written this with mine owne hande: I will recompense it, albeit I doe not say to thee, that thou owest moreouer vnto me euen thine owne selfe. |
1:20 | Yea, brother, let mee obteine this pleasure of thee in the Lord: comfort my bowels in the Lord. |
1:21 | Trusting in thine obedience, I wrote vnto thee, knowing that thou wilt do eue more then I say. |
1:22 | Moreouer also prepare mee lodging: for I trust through your prayers I shall be freely giuen vnto you. |
1:23 | There salute thee Epaphras my felowe prisoner in Christ Iesus, |

1:7 | And we have great ioye and consolacion over thy love: for by the (brother) the saynctes hertes are comforted. |
1:8 | Wherfore though I be bolde in Christ to enioyne the that which becometh the: |

1:10 | I beseche the for my sonne Onesimus whom I begat in my bondes |
1:11 | which in tyme passed was to the vnproffetable: but now proffetable bothe to the and also to me |
