    Philemon 1
    • 1   Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon, our beloved fellow worker,
    • 2   to the beloved Apphia, to Archippus, our fellow soldier, and to the assembly in your house:
    • 3   Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
    • 4   I thank my God always, making mention of you in my prayers,
    • 5   hearing of your love, and of the faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all the saints;
    • 6   that the fellowship of your faith may become effective, in the knowledge of every good thing which is in us in Christ Jesus.
    • 7   For we have much joy and comfort in your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you, brother.
    • 8   Therefore though I have all boldness in Christ to command you that which is appropriate,
    • 9   yet for love’s sake I rather beg, being such a one as Paul, the aged, but also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.
    • 10   I beg you for my child, whom I have become the father of in my chains, Onesimus,
    • 11   who once was useless to you, but now is useful to you and to me.
    • 12   I am sending him back. Therefore receive him, that is, my own heart,
    • 13   whom I desired to keep with me, that on your behalf he might serve me in my chains for the Good News.
    • 14   But I was willing to do nothing without your consent, that your goodness would not be as of necessity, but of free will.
    • 15   For perhaps he was therefore separated from you for a while, that you would have him forever,
    • 16   no longer as a slave, but more than a slave, a beloved brother, especially to me, but how much rather to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.
    • 17   If then you count me a partner, receive him as you would receive me.
    • 18   But if he has wronged you at all, or owes you anything, put that to my account.
    • 19   I, Paul, write this with my own hand: I will repay it (not to mention to you that you owe to me even your own self besides).
    • 20   Yes, brother, let me have joy from you in the Lord. Refresh my heart in the Lord.
    • 21   Having confidence in your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even beyond what I say.
    • 22   Also, prepare a guest room for me, for I hope that through your prayers I will be restored to you.
    • 23   Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, greets you,
    • 24   as do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers.
    • 25   The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
