Revised Young's Literal Translation

New Testament

   

1:1Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy the brother, to Philemon our beloved and fellow-worker,
1:2and Apphia the beloved, and Archippus our fellow-soldier, and the assembly in your house:
1:3Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ!
1:4I give thanks to my God, always making mention of you in my prayers,
1:5hearing of your love and faith that you have unto the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints,
1:6that the fellowship of your faith may become working in the full knowledge of every good thing that is in you toward Christ Jesus;
1:7for we have much joy and comfort in your love, because the affections of the saints have been refreshed through you, brother.
1:8Therefore, having in Christ much boldness to command you that which is fit --
1:9because of the love I rather entreat, being such an one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ;
1:10I entreat you concerning my child -- whom I did beget in my bonds -- Onesimus,
1:11who once was to you unprofitable, and now is profitable to me and to you,
1:12whom I did send again, and you him (that is, my own affections) receive,
1:13whom I did wish to retain to myself, that in your behalf he might minister to me in the bonds of the good news,
1:14and apart from your mind I willed to do nothing, that as of necessity your good deed may not be, but of willingness,
1:15for perhaps because of this he did depart for an hour, that age-duringly you may have him,
1:16no more as a servant, but above a servant -- a brother beloved, especially to me, and how much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord!
1:17If, then, with me you have fellowship, receive him as me,
1:18and if he did hurt to you, or does owe anything, this to me be reckoning;
1:19I, Paul did write with my hand, I -- I will repay; that I may not say that also yourself, besides, to me you do owe.
1:20Yes, brother, may I have profit of you in the Lord; refresh my affections in the Lord;
1:21having been confident in your obedience I did write to you, having known that also above what I may say you will do;
1:22and at the same time also prepare for me a lodging, for I hope that through your prayers I shall be granted to you.
1:23Salute you does Epaphras, (my fellow-captive in Christ Jesus,)
1:24Markus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lukas, my fellow-workmen!
1:25The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is with your spirit! Amen.
