Philemon 1

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

Good News Translation GNT

1 From Paul, a prisoner for the sake of Christ Jesus, and from our brother Timothy - To our friend and fellow worker Philemon,

2 and the church that meets in your house, and our sister Apphia, and our fellow soldier Archippus:

3 May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace.

4 Brother Philemon, every time I pray, I mention you and give thanks to my God.

5 For I hear of your love for all of God's people and the faith you have in the Lord Jesus.

6 My prayer is that our fellowship with you as believers will bring about a deeper understanding of every blessing which we have in our life in union with Christ.

7 Your love, dear brother, has brought me great joy and much encouragement! You have cheered the hearts of all of God's people.

8 For this reason I could be bold enough, as your brother in Christ, to order you to do what should be done.

9 But because I love you, I make a request instead. I do this even though I am Paul, the ambassador of Christ Jesus, and at present also a prisoner for his sake.

10 So I make a request to you on behalf of Onesimus, who is my own son in Christ; for while in prison I have become his spiritual father.

11 At one time he was of no use to you, but now he is useful both to you and to me.

12 I am sending him back to you now, and with him goes my heart.

13 I would like to keep him here with me, while I am in prison for the gospel's sake, so that he could help me in your place.

14 However, I do not want to force you to help me; rather, I would like for you to do it of your own free will. So I will not do anything unless you agree.

15 It may be that Onesimus was away from you for a short time so that you might have him back for all time.

16 And now he is not just a slave, but much more than a slave: he is a dear brother in Christ. How much he means to me! And how much more he will mean to you, both as a slave and as a brother in the Lord!

17 So, if you think of me as your partner, welcome him back just as you would welcome me.

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

19 Here, I will write this with my own hand: [I, Paul, will pay you back.] (I should not have to remind you, of course, that you owe your very self to me.)

20 So, my brother, please do me this favor for the Lord's sake; as a brother in Christ, cheer me up!

21 I am sure, as I write this, that you will do what I ask - in fact I know that you will do even more.

22 At the same time, get a room ready for me, because I hope that God will answer the prayers of all of you and give me back to you.

23 Epaphras, who is in prison with me for the sake of Christ Jesus, sends you his greetings,

24 and so do my co-workers Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke.

25 May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
