PHIM 1:1
Philemon 1:1
|
|
Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy
our brother, unto Philemon our dearly beloved, and fellowlabourer, |
|
|
|
|
|
PHIM 1:2
Philemon 1:2
|
|
And to our beloved Apphia, and Archippus our
fellowsoldier, and to the church in thy house: |
| |
|
|
|
PHIM 1:3
Philemon 1:3
|
|
Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father
and the Lord Jesus Christ. |
| |
|
|
|
PHIM 1:4
Philemon 1:4
|
|
I thank my God, making mention of thee always
in my prayers, |
| |
|
|
|
PHIM 1:5
Philemon 1:5
|
|
Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast
toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; |
| |
|
|
|
PHIM 1:6
Philemon 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. |
| |
|
|
|
PHIM 1:7
Philemon 1:7
|
|
For we have great joy and consolation in thy
love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother. |
|
|
|
|
PHIM 1:8
Philemon 1:8
|
|
Wherefore, though I might be much bold in Christ
to enjoin thee that which is convenient, |
|
|
|
|
PHIM 1:9
Philemon 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. |
|
|
|
|
PHIM 1:10
Philemon 1:10
|
|
I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I
have begotten in my bonds: |
|
|
|
|
PHIM 1:11
Philemon 1:11
|
|
Which in time past was to thee unprofitable,
but now profitable to thee and to me: |
|
|
|
|
PHIM 1:12
Philemon 1:12
|
|
Whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive
him, that is, mine own bowels: |
|
|
|
|
PHIM 1:13
Philemon 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: |
|
|
|
|
PHIM 1:14
Philemon 1:14
|
|
But without thy mind would I do nothing; that
thy benefit should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly. |
|
|
|
|
PHIM 1:15
Philemon 1:15
|
|
For perhaps he therefore departed for a season,
that thou shouldest receive him for ever; |
|
|
|
|
PHIM 1:16
Philemon 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? |
|
|
|
|
PHIM 1:17
Philemon 1:17
|
|
If thou count me therefore a partner, receive
him as myself. |
|
|
|
|
PHIM 1:18
Philemon 1:18
|
|
If he hath wronged thee, or oweth thee ought,
put that on mine account; |
|
|
|
|
PHIM 1:19
Philemon 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. |
| |
|
|
|
PHIM 1:20
Philemon 1:20
|
|
Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in the
Lord: refresh my bowels in the Lord. |
| |
|
|
|
PHIM 1:21
Philemon 1:21
|
|
Having confidence in thy obedience I wrote unto
thee, knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say. |
|
|
|
|
|
PHIM 1:22
Philemon 1:22
|
|
But withal prepare me also a lodging: for I
trust that through your prayers I shall be given unto you. |
|
|
|
|
|
PHIM 1:23
Philemon 1:23
|
|
There salute thee Epaphras, my fellowprisoner
in Christ Jesus; |
|
|
|
|
|
PHIM 1:24
Philemon 1:24
|
|
Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas, my fellowlabourers. |
|
|
|
|
|
PHIM 1:25
Philemon 1:25
|
|
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your
spirit. Amen. |
| |
|
