Philemon 1:18-25

18If Onesimus has done anything wrong to you, I will make it right again. If he took money from you, I will pay it back.

19I, Paul, am writing this myself: ‘I will pay the money back to you.’ But you should remember what I have given to you already. You have life with God because I told you the good news about Jesus.

20Yes, my friend, please help me now, because we both belong to the Lord. As a Christian friend, help me to feel happier.

21I am sure that you will do what I ask. That is why I have written this letter to you. I know that you will do even more than this to help me.

22I want to ask you one more thing. Please prepare a room in your home where I can stay. I know that all of you are praying for God to let me go free. As a result, I hope that I will be able to visit you again.

23Epaphras is also here in prison with me because he serves Christ Jesus. He says ‘hello’ to you.

24Mark, Aristarchus, Demas and Luke, who work with me here, also say ‘hello’ to you.

25I pray that the Lord Jesus Christ will continue to be very kind to all of you.
