Philemon 1:11-25
11who onceG4218 was unprofitable to thee, but nowG1161 is profitable to thee and to me: 12whom I have sent backG375 to thee in his own person, that isG1510, my very heartG4698: 13whom I would fain have kept with me, that in thy behalfG5228 he might ministerG1247 unto me in the bonds of the gospelG2098: 14but without thy mind I would do nothing; that thy goodness should not beG1510 as of necessityG318, but of free will. 15For perhapsG5029 he was therefore parted from thee for a season, that thou shouldest have him for ever; 16noG3756 longerG2089 as a servantG1401, but moreG3123 than a servantG1401, a brotherG80 belovedG27, specially to me, but howG5613 muchG4214 ratherG3123 to thee, both in the fleshG4561 and in the LordG2962. 17If thenG3767 thou countest me a partnerG2844, receiveG4355 him as myself. 18But if he hath wrongedG91 thee at all, or oweth thee aught, put that to mineG1473 account; 19I PaulG3972 writeG1125 it with mine own handG5495, I will repay it: that I sayG3004 not unto thee that thou owest to me evenG2532 thine own self besides. 20Yea, brotherG80, let me have joy of thee in the LordG2962: refreshG373 my heartG4698 in ChristG5547.
21Having confidenceG3982 in thine obedienceG5218 I writeG1125 unto thee, knowing that thou wilt do evenG2532 beyond what I sayG3004. 22But withal prepareG2090 me alsoG2532 a lodging: for I hopeG1679 that through your prayersG4335 I shall be grantedG5483 unto you.
23EpaphrasG1889, my fellow-prisoner in ChristG5547 JesusG2424, saluteth thee; 24and so do MarkG3138, AristarchusG708, DemasG1214, LukeG3065, my fellow-workers.
25The graceG5485 of our LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 be with your spiritG4151. Amen.
