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