THE Epistle of PAUL the Apostle TO PHILEMON.
1 Paul a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy a
brother, to Philemon our beloved brother and fellow-laborer,
and to the beloved Apphia,
2 and to
Archippus our fellow-soldier, and to the church in
thine house,
3 grace and peace be to you from God our
Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
4 I thank my God always making mention of thee in
my prayers,
5 (hearing of the faith which thou hast towards
the Lord Jesus, and of thy love to all the saints,)
6 that the communication of thy faith may become effectual
in the acknowledgement of all the good that is in
note you towards Christ Jesus:
7 for we have much joy and
comfort in thy love, because by thee, dear brother, the
bowels of the saints are refreshed.
8 Wherefore though I have note sufficient authority in
Christ to enjoin thee what is meet,
9 I would rather intreat
thee out of love to me, being such a one as Paul the
note aged, and now a prisoner too for the sake of Jesus
Christ.
10 I intreat thee then for my son Onesimus, whom
I have begotten in my bonds,
11 who was formerly unprofitable
to thee, but now profitable both to thee and to
me; whom I have sent back to thee:
12 him therefore, note as
my own bowels, do thou receive.
13 Whom I would gladly have kept with me, that he
might have minister'd unto me note as thou wouldst have
done, in the bonds of the gospel.
14 But I would do nothing
-- --
without thy knowledge, that thy kindness might
not be as it were note forced, but voluntary.
15 For perhaps
he was therefore parted from thee for a season, that thou
mightest receive him for ever:
16 not now as a servant,
but above a servant, a note dear brother, especially to me,
and how much more to thee both in the flesh and in
the Lord.
17 If therefore thou accountest me a note friend,
receive him as thou wouldst receive me.
18 noteIf he hath wronged thee in any thing, or is indebted
to thee, place it to my accompt:
19 I Paul have written
it with my own hand, I will pay it: not to say note that
thou note indeed owest even thy own self to me.
20 Yea,
my brother, let me enjoy this satisfaction from thee in
the Lord: and thus refresh my bowels in the Lord.
21 Being fully persuaded of thy compliance, I have
written to thee; knowing that thou wilt indeed do more
than I note ask.
22 But note I must add, prepare me also a lodging;
for I hope that through your prayers I shall be
note restored to you.
23 Epaphras my fellow-prisoner in Christ Jesus, and
Marcus,
24 Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke my fellow-laborers,
salute thee.
25 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your
spirit. Amen.
Written from Rome to Philemon, by Onesimus a servant.
