Philemon 1:8-21

8WhereforeG1352, thoughG1722 IG1352 have allG3588 boldnessG3954 inG1722 ChristG5547 toG1722 enjoin thee thatG1722 whichG3588 is befitting,

9yetG2532 forG1223 love’sG26 sakeG1223 IG2532 ratherG3123 beseech, beingG1510 suchG5108 a oneG3588 asG5613 PaulG3972 theG3588 agedG4246, andG2532 nowG1161 a prisonerG1198 alsoG2532 ofG1223 ChristG5547 JesusG2424:

10IG1473 beseech thee forG4012 myG1699 childG5043, whomG3739 IG1473 have begottenG1080 inG1722 myG1699 bondsG1199, OnesimusG3682,

11whoG3739 was aforetime unprofitable toG2532 thee, butG1161 nowG1161 is profitable toG2532 thee andG2532 toG2532 meG1473:

12whomG3588 IG3778 haveG1510 sentG375 backG375 toG3778 thee inG3778 hisG846 ownG1699 personG3778, thatG3778 isG1510, myG1699 veryG846 heartG4698:

13whomG3739 IG1473 wouldG2098 fain have keptG3739 withG1722 meG1473, thatG3739 inG1722 thy behalfG5228 heG3739 mightG1473 ministerG1247 unto meG1473 inG1722 theG3588 bondsG1199 ofG2098 theG3588 gospelG2098:

14butG1161 withoutG5565 thy mind IG1161 wouldG3762 doG4160 nothingG3762; thatG2443 thy goodnessG18 shouldG2443 notG3361 beG1510 asG5613 ofG2596 necessityG318, butG1161 ofG2596 freeG1595 willG1510.

15ForG1063 perhapsG5029 heG846 was thereforeG1223 parted fromG568 thee forG1063 a season, thatG2443 thou shouldest have himG846 forG1063 ever;

16noG3756 longerG2089 asG5613 a servantG1401, butG1161 moreG3123 thanG5228 a servantG1401, a brotherG80 belovedG27, specially toG2532 meG1473, butG1161 howG5613 muchG4214 ratherG3123 toG2532 thee, bothG2532 inG1722 theG2532 fleshG4561 andG2532 inG1722 theG2532 LordG2962.

17IfG1487 thenG3767 thou countest meG1473 a partnerG2844, receiveG4355 himG846 asG5613 myselfG846.

18ButG1161 ifG1487 heG3778 hath wrongedG91 thee at all, orG2228 oweth thee aught, put thatG3778 toG5100 mineG1473 accountG1677;

19IG1473 PaulG3972 writeG1125 itG2532 withG2532 mineG1699 ownG1699 handG5495, IG1473 willG3748 repayG661 itG2532: thatG3754 IG1473 sayG3004 notG3361 unto thee howG3754 thatG3754 thou owest toG2443 meG3004 evenG2532 thine ownG1699 selfG4572 besides.

20Yea, brotherG80, letG3685 meG1473 have joy ofG2962 thee inG1722 theG3588 LordG2962: refreshG373 myG1722 heartG4698 inG1722 ChristG5547.

21HavingG3982 confidenceG3982 inG2532 thine obedienceG5218 IG3739 writeG1125 unto thee, knowingG1492 thatG3754 thou wilt doG4160 evenG2532 beyondG5228 whatG3739 IG3739 sayG3004.
