Philemon 1:3

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

Philemon 1:4

4 I give thanks to my God, always making mention of thee in my prayers,

Philemon 1:5

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

Philemon 1:6

6 that the fellowship of thy faith may become working in the full knowledge of every good thing that [is] in you toward Christ Jesus;

Philemon 1:7

7 for we have much joy and comfort in thy love, because the bowels of the saints have been refreshed through thee, brother.

Philemon 1:8

8 Wherefore, having in Christ much boldness to command thee that which is fit --

Philemon 1:9

9 because of the love I rather entreat, being such an one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ;

Philemon 1:10

10 I entreat thee concerning my child -- whom I did beget in my bonds -- Onesimus,

Philemon 1:11

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

Philemon 1:12

12 whom I did send again, and thou him (that is, my own bowels) receive,

Philemon 1:13

13 whom I did wish to retain to myself, that in thy behalf he might minister to me in the bonds of the good news,

Philemon 1:14

14 and apart from thy mind I willed to do nothing, that as of necessity thy good deed may not be, but of willingness,

Philemon 1:15

15 for perhaps because of this he did depart for an hour, that age-duringly thou mayest have him,

Philemon 1:16

16 no more as a servant, but above a servant -- a brother beloved, especially to me, and how much more to thee, both in the flesh and in the Lord!

Philemon 1:17

17 If, then, with me thou hast fellowship, receive him as me,

Philemon 1:18

18 and if he did hurt to thee, or doth owe anything, this to me be reckoning;

Philemon 1:19

19 I, Paul did write with my hand, I -- I will repay; that I may not say that also thyself, besides, to me thou dost owe.

Philemon 1:20

20 Yes, brother, may I have profit of thee in the Lord; refresh my bowels in the Lord;

Philemon 1:21

21 having been confident in thy obedience I did write to thee, having known that also above what I may say thou wilt do;

Philemon 1:22

22 and at the same time also prepare for me a lodging, for I hope that through your prayers I shall be granted to you.

Philemon 1:23

23 Salute thee doth Epaphras, (my fellow-captive in Christ Jesus,)

Philemon 1:24

24 Markus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lukas, my fellow-workmen!
