Philemon 1

New International Version NIV

1 Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, To Philemon our dear friend and fellow worker—

2 also to Apphia our sister and Archippus our fellow soldier—and to the church that meets in your home:

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

4 I always thank my God as I remember you in my prayers,

5 because I hear about your love for all his holy people and your faith in the Lord Jesus.

6 I pray that your partnership with us in the faith may be effective in deepening your understanding of every good thing we share for the sake of Christ.

7 Your love has given me great joy and encouragement, because you, brother, have refreshed the hearts of the Lord’s people.

8 Therefore, although in Christ I could be bold and order you to do what you ought to do,

9 yet I prefer to appeal to you on the basis of love. It is as none other than Paul—an old man and now also a prisoner of Christ Jesus—

10 that I appeal to you for my son Onesimus, who became my son while I was in chains.

11 Formerly he was useless to you, but now he has become useful both to you and to me.

12 I am sending him—who is my very heart—back to you.

13 I would have liked to keep him with me so that he could take your place in helping me while I am in chains for the gospel.

14 But I did not want to do anything without your consent, so that any favor you do would not seem forced but would be voluntary.

15 Perhaps the reason he was separated from you for a little while was that you might have him back forever—

16 no longer as a slave, but better than a slave, as a dear brother. He is very dear to me but even dearer to you, both as a fellow man and as a brother in the Lord.

17 So if you consider me a partner, welcome him as you would welcome me.

18 If he has done you any wrong or owes you anything, charge it to me.

19 I, Paul, am writing this with my own hand. I will pay it back—not to mention that you owe me your very self.

20 I do wish, brother, that I may have some benefit from you in the Lord; refresh my heart in Christ.

21 Confident of your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even more than I ask.

22 And one thing more: Prepare a guest room for me, because I hope to be restored to you in answer to your prayers.

23 Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, sends you greetings.

24 And so do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas and Luke, my fellow workers.

25 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 Paulus vinctus Iesu Christi et Timotheus frater Philemoni dilecto et adiutori nostro

2 et Appiae sorori et Archippo commilitoni nostro et ecclesiae quae in domo tua est

3 gratia vobis et pax a Deo Patre nostro et Domino Iesu Christo

4 gratias ago Deo meo semper memoriam tui faciens in orationibus meis

5 audiens caritatem tuam et fidem quam habes in Domino Iesu et in omnes sanctos

6 ut communicatio fidei tuae evidens fiat in agnitione omnis boni in nobis in Christo Iesu

7 gaudium enim magnum habui et consolationem in caritate tua quia viscera sanctorum requieverunt per te frater

8 propter quod multam fiduciam habentes in Christo Iesu imperandi tibi quod ad rem pertinet

9 propter caritatem magis obsecro cum sis talis ut Paulus senex nunc autem et vinctus Iesu Christi

10 obsecro te de meo filio quem genui in vinculis Onesimo

11 qui tibi aliquando inutilis fuit nunc autem et tibi et mihi utilis

12 quem remisi tu autem illum id est mea viscera suscipe

13 quem ego volueram mecum detinere ut pro te mihi ministraret in vinculis evangelii

14 sine consilio autem tuo nihil volui facere uti ne velut ex necessitate bonum tuum esset sed voluntarium

15 forsitan enim ideo discessit ad horam a te ut aeternum illum recipere

16 iam non ut servum sed plus servo carissimum fratrem maxime mihi quanto autem magis tibi et in carne et in Domino

17 si ergo habes me socium suscipe illum sicut me

18 si autem aliquid nocuit tibi aut debet hoc mihi inputa

19 ego Paulus scripsi mea manu ego reddam ut non dicam tibi quod et te ipsum mihi debes

20 ita frater ego te fruar in Domino refice viscera mea in Domino

21 confidens oboedientia tua scripsi tibi sciens quoniam et super id quod dico facies

22 simul autem et para mihi hospitium nam spero per orationes vestras donari me vobis

23 salutat te Epaphras concaptivus meus in Christo Iesu

24 Marcus Aristarchus Demas Lucas adiutores mei

25 gratia Domini nostri Iesu Christi cum spiritu vestro amen
