Greeting
|
||||
|
||||
1. Paul, a prisoner for Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother,
|
||||
To Philemon our beloved fellow worker
|
||||
2. and Apphia our sister and Archippus our fellow soldier, and the church in your house:
|
||||
|
||||
3. Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.Philemon's Love and Faith
|
||||
|
||||
4. I thank my God always when I remember you in my prayers,
|
||||
5. because I hear of your love and of the faith that you have toward the Lord Jesus and for all the saints,
|
||||
6. and I pray that the sharing of your faith may become effective for the full knowledge of every good thing that is in us for the sake of Christ.
|
||||
7. For I have derived much joy and comfort from your love, my brother, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you.Paul's Plea for Onesimus
|
||||
|
||||
8. Accordingly, though I am bold enough in Christ to command you to do what is required,
|
||||
9. yet for love's sake I prefer to appeal to you--I, Paul, an old man and now a prisoner also for Christ Jesus--
|
||||
10. I appeal to you for my child, Onesimus, whose father I became in my imprisonment.
|
||||
11. (Formerly he was useless to you, but now he is indeed useful to you and to me.)
|
||||
12. I am sending him back to you, sending my very heart.
|
||||
13. I would have been glad to keep him with me, in order that he might serve me on your behalf during my imprisonment for the gospel,
|
||||
14. but I preferred to do nothing without your consent in order that your goodness might not be by compulsion but of your own accord.
|
||||
15. For this perhaps is why he was parted from you for a while, that you might have him back forever,
|
||||
16. no longer as a bondservant but more than a bondservant, as a beloved brother--especially to me, but how much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.
|
||||
|
||||
17. So if you consider me your partner, receive him as you would receive me.
|
||||
18. If he has wronged you at all, or owes you anything, charge that to my account.
|
||||
19. I, Paul, write this with my own hand: I will repay it--to say nothing of your owing me even your own self.
|
||||
20. Yes, brother, I want 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 say.
|
||||
22. At the same time, prepare a guest room for me, for I am hoping that through your prayers I will be graciously given to you.Final Greetings
|
||||
|
||||
23. Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, sends greetings to you,
|
||||
24. and so do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers.
|
||||
|
||||
25. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
