Philemon 1

1PaulG3972, prisonerG1198 of ChristG5547 JesusG2424, and Timotheus the brotherG80, to Philemon the belovedG27 and our fellow-workman, 2and to the sisterG79 Apphia and to ArchippusG751 our fellow-soldier, and to the assemblyG1577 which [is] in thine houseG3624. 3GraceG5485 to you and peaceG1515 from 1GodG2316 our FatherG3962, and [the] LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547. 4I thankG2168 my 2GodG2316, alwaysG3842 makingG4160 mentionG3417 of thee at my prayersG4335, 5hearingG191 of thy loveG26 and the faithG4102 which thou hast towards the LordG2962 JesusG2424, and towards all the saintsG40, 6in such sort that thy participationG2842 in the faithG4102 should becomeG1096 operative in the acknowledgment of every goodG18 thingG18 which is in us towards ChristG5547 [Jesus]. 7For we have greatG4183 thankfulness and encouragementG3874 through thy loveG26, because the bowels of the saintsG40 are refreshedG373 by thee, brotherG80. 8Wherefore having muchG4183 boldnessG3954 in ChristG5547 to enjoin thee what is fitting, 9for love's sakeG1223 I ratherG3123 exhortG3870, beingG1510 such a oneG3588 as PaulG3972 the aged, and nowG1161 alsoG2532 prisonerG1198 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547. 10I exhortG3870 thee for my childG5043, whom I have begottenG1080 in [my] bonds, OnesimusG3682, 11onceG4218 unserviceable to thee, but nowG1161 serviceable to thee and to me: 12whom I have sent backG375 to thee: [but do thou receive] him, that isG1510, my bowels: 13whom I was desirous of keeping with myself, that for thee he might ministerG1247 to me in the bonds of the glad tidings; 14but I have wishedG2309 to do nothing without thy mind, that thy goodG18 might not beG1510 as of necessityG318 but of willingness: 15for perhapsG5029 for this reason he has been separatedG5563 [from thee] for a timeG5610, that thou mightest possess him fully for ever; 16not any longerG2089 as a bondman, but above a bondman, a belovedG27 brotherG80, specially to me, and howG5613 muchG4214 ratherG3123 to thee, both in [the] fleshG4561 and in [the] LordG2962? 17If thereforeG3767 thou holdest me to be a partnerG2844 [with thee], receiveG4355 him as me; 18but if he have wrongedG91 thee anythingG5100 or oweG3784 anythingG5100 [to thee], put this to my account. 19I PaulG3972 have writtenG1125 [it] with mine own handG5495; I will repay [it]: that I sayG3004 not to thee that thou owest evenG2532 thine own self alsoG2532 to me. 20Yea, brotherG80, I would have profit of thee in [the] LordG2962: refreshG373 my bowels in ChristG5547. 21Being confidentG3982 of thine obedienceG5218, I have writtenG1125 to thee, knowing that thou wilt do evenG2532 more than I sayG3004. 22But withal prepareG2090 me alsoG2532 a lodging; for I hopeG1679 that I shall be grantedG5483 to you through your prayersG4335. 23EpaphrasG1889 salutes thee, my fellow-prisoner in ChristG5547 JesusG2424; 24MarkG3138, AristarchusG708, DemasG1214, LukeG3065, my fellow-workmen. 25The graceG5485 of our LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 [be] with your spiritG4151.
