Philemon 1:3

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

Philemon 1:4

4 I thank my God always, making mention of thee in my prayers,

Philemon 1:5

5 hearing of thy love, and of the faith which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all the saints;

Philemon 1:6

6 that the fellowship of thy faith may become effectual, in the knowledge of every good thing which is in you, unto Christ.

Philemon 1:7

7 For I had much joy and comfort in thy love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through thee, brother.

Philemon 1:8

8 Wherefore, though I have all boldness in Christ to enjoin thee that which is befitting,

Philemon 1:9

9 yet for love's sake I rather beseech, being such a one as Paul the aged, and now a prisoner also of Christ Jesus:

Philemon 1:10

10 I beseech thee for my child, whom I have begotten in my bonds, Onesimus,

Philemon 1:11

11 who once was unprofitable to thee, but now is profitable to thee and to me:

Philemon 1:12

12 whom I have sent back to thee in his own person, that is, my very heart:

Philemon 1:13

13 whom I would fain have kept with me, that in thy behalf he might minister unto me in the bonds of the gospel:

Philemon 1:14

14 but without thy mind I would do nothing; that thy goodness should not be as of necessity, but of free will.

Philemon 1:15

15 For perhaps he was therefore parted [from thee] for a season, that thou shouldest have him for ever;

Philemon 1:16

16 no 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.

Philemon 1:17

17 If then thou countest me a partner, receive him as myself.

Philemon 1:18

18 But if he hath wronged the at all, or oweth [thee] aught, put that to mine account;

Philemon 1:19

19 I 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.

Philemon 1:20

20 Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord: refresh my heart in Christ.

Philemon 1:21

21 Having confidence in thine obedience I write unto thee, knowing that thou wilt do even beyond what I say.

Philemon 1:22

22 But withal prepare me also a lodging: for I hope that through your prayers I shall be granted unto you.

Philemon 1:23

23 Epaphras, my fellow-prisoner in Christ Jesus, saluteth thee;

Philemon 1:24

24 [and so do] Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, Luke, my fellow-workers.
