THE EPISTLE OF PAVL TO PHILEMON.
THE ARGVMENT.
Hearing of Philémons vertue, vvho vvas a Colo&esset;ian, he vvriteth a familiar letter from Rome (being
prisoner there) about his fugitiue seruant Onesimus: not doubting but that he might commaund
him, yet rather requesting that he vvil forgiue him, yea and receiue him as he vvould
Paul him self, vvho also hopeth to come vnto him.
-- --
1 Pavl the prisoner of Christ Iesvs,
and brother Timothee: to Philémon
the beloued and our coadiutor,
2 &
to Appia our deerest sister, & to Archippus
our felovv-souldiar and to
the church vvhich is in thy house.
3 Grace to you and peace from God
our father, and our Lord Iesvs
Christ.
4 I giue thankes to my God, alvvaies making a memorie
of thee in my praiers,
5 hearing thy note charitie and faith
vvhich thou hast in our Lord Iesvs, and09Q1336 tovvard al the
sainctes:
6 that the communication of thy faith may be
made euident in the agnition of al good that is in you in
Christ Iesvs.
7 For I haue had great ioy and consolation
in thy charitie, because the bovvels of the sainctes note haue rested
by thee brother.
8 For the vvhich thing hauing great c&obar;fidence in Christ
Iesvs to commaund thee that vvhich pertaineth to the
purpose:
9 for charitie rather I beseeche, vvhereas thou art
such an one, as Paul being old and novv prisoner also of Iesvs
Christ.
10 I beseeche thee for my sonne vvhom I haue
begotten in bandes, note Onesimus,
11 vvho hath been sometime
vnprofitable to thee, but novv profitable both to me &
thee,
12 vvhom I haue sent backe to thee. And note do thou receiue
him as mine ovvne bovvels.
13 vvhom I would haue
reteined vvith me, that for thee he might minister to me in
the bandes of the Gospel:
14 but vvithout thy counsel I
vvould doe nothing: that thy good might be not as it vvere
of necessitie, but voluntarie.
15 For perhaps therfore he departed
for a season on from thee, that thou mightest take him againe
for euer.
16 novv not as a seruant, but for a seruant,
a most deere brother, especially to me, but hovv much more
to thee both in the flesh and in our Lord?
17 If therfore thou
take me for thy felovv: receiue him as my self.
18 And if he
hath hurt thee any thing or is in thy dette, that impute to me.
19 I Paul haue vvritten vvith mine ovvne hand: I vvil repay
it: not to say to thee, note that thou ovvest me thine ovvne
self also.
20 Yea brother. noteGod graunt I may enioy thee in
our Lord. Refresh my bovvels in our Lord.
21 Trusting in
thy obedience I haue vvritten to thee, knovving that thou
-- --
vvilt doe aboue that also vvhich I do say.
22 And withal prouide
me also a lodging. for I hope by your praiers that I shal
be giuen to you.
23 There salute thee Epaphras my fellovv-prisoner in
Christ Iesvs,
24 Marke, Aristarchus, Demas and Luke my
coadiutors.
25 The grace of our Lord Iesvs Christ be with
your spirit. Amen,
