¶2; The Epistle of PAUL to PHILEMON.
A. D. 64.
4 He rejoiceth to hear of the faith and love of
Philemon: 9 whom he desireth to forgive his
servant Onesimus, and lovingly to receive
him again.
1 Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and
Timothy our brother, to Philemon
our dearly beloved, and fellow-laborer,
2 And to our beloved Apphia, and
Archippus our fellow-soldier, and to the
church in thy house:
3 Grace to you, and peace, from God
our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
4 noteI thank my God, making mention
of thee always in my prayers,
5 Hearing of thy love and faith, which
thou hast towards the Lord Jesus, and
towards all saints;
6 That the communication of thy faith
may become effectual by the acknowledging
of every good thing which is in
you in Christ Jesus.
7 For we have great joy and consolation
in thy love, because the bowels of
the saints are refreshed by thee, brother.
8 Wherefore, though I might be very
bold in Christ to enjoin thee that which
is convenient.
9 Yet for love's sake I rather beseech
thee, being such one as Paul the aged,
and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.
10 I beseech thee for my son note Onesimus,
whom I have begotten in my bonds:
11 Who in time past was to thee unprofitable,
but now profitable to thee and
to me:
12 Whom I have sent again: thou
therefore receive him, that is, my own
bowels:
13 Whom I would have retained with
me, that in thy stead he might have ministered
to me in the bonds of the gospel:
14 But without thy mind I would do
nothing; that thy benefit should not be
as it were of necessity, but willingly.
15 For perhaps he therefore departed
for a season, that thou shouldst receive
him for ever;
16 Not now as a servant, but above a
servant, a brother beloved, specially to
me, but how much more to thee, both in
the flesh, and in the Lord?
17 If thou accountest me therefore a
partner, receive him as myself.
18 If he hath wronged thee, or oweth
thee aught, put that on my account;
19 I Paul have written it with my own
hand, I will repay it: although I do not
say to thee that thou owest to me even
thy own self besides.
20 Yes, brother, let me have joy of
thee in the Lord: refresh my bowels in
the Lord.
21 Having confidence in thy obedience
I wrote to thee, knowing that thou
wilt also do more than I say.
22 But at the same time prepare me
also a lodging; for I trust that through
your prayers I shall be given to you.
23 There salute thee Epaphras, my
fellow-prisoner in Christ Jesus;
24 Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas,
my fellow-laborers.
25 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ
be with your spirit. Amen.
