Philemon 1:10-19

10I beseechG3870 theeG4771 forG4012 myG1699 sonG5043 OnesimusG3682, whomG3739 I have begottenG1080 inG1722 myG1473 bondsG3588G1199:

11WhichG3588 in time pastG4218 wasG3588 to theeG4771 unprofitableG890, butG1161 nowG3570 profitableG2173 to theeG4771 andG2532 to meG1473:

12WhomG3739 I have sent againG375: thouG4771 thereforeG1161 receiveG4355 himG846, thatG3778 isG1510, mine ownG1699 bowelsG4698:

13WhomG3739 IG1473 wouldG1014 have retainedG2722 withG4314 meG1683, thatG2443 inG5228 thyG4771 steadG5228 he might have ministeredG1247 unto meG1473 inG1722 the bondsG3588G1199 of the gospelG3588G2098:

14ButG1161 withoutG5565 thyG4674 mindG1106 would IG2309 doG4160 nothingG3762; thatG2443 thyG4771 benefitG18 shouldG1510 notG3361 beG1510 as it wereG5613 ofG2596 necessityG318, butG235 willinglyG1595.

15ForG1063 perhapsG5029 heG5563 thereforeG1223G3778 departedG5563 forG4314 a seasonG5610, thatG2443 thou shouldest receiveG568 himG846 for everG166;

16Not nowG3765 asG5613 a servantG1401, butG235 aboveG5228 a servantG1401, a brotherG80 belovedG27, speciallyG3122 to meG1473, butG1161 how muchG4214 moreG3123 unto theeG4771, bothG2532 inG1722 the fleshG4561, andG2532 inG1722 the LordG2962?

17IfG1487 thou countG2192 meG1473 thereforeG3767 a partnerG2844, receiveG4355 himG846 asG5613 myselfG1473.

18IfG1487 he hath wrongedG91 theeG4771, orG2228 owethG3784 thee oughtG5100, putG1677 thatG3778 on mineG1473 accountG1677;

19IG1473 PaulG3972 have writtenG1125 it with mine ownG1699 handG5495, IG1473 will repayG661 it: albeitG2443 I doG3004 notG3361 sayG3004 to theeG4771 howG3754 thou owestG4359 unto meG1473 evenG2532 thine own selfG4572 besidesG4359.
