1Paul3972, a prisoner1198 of Jesus2424 Christ5547, and2532 Timothy5095 our brother80, unto Philemon5371 our2257 dearly beloved27, and2532 fellowlabourer4904,
2And2532 to our beloved27 Apphia682, and2532 Archippus751 our2257 fellowsoldier4961, and2532 to the church1577 in2596 thy4675 house3624:
3Grace5485 to you5213, and2532 peace1515, from575 God2316 our2257 Father3962 and2532 the Lord2962 Jesus2424 Christ5547.
4I thank2168 my3450 God2316, making4160 mention3417 of thee4675 always3842 in1909 my3450 prayers4335,
5Hearing191 of thy4675 love26 and2532 faith4102, which3739 thou hast2192 toward4314 the Lord2962 Jesus2424, and2532 toward1519 all3956 saints40;
6That3704 the communication2842 of thy4675 faith4102 may become1096 effectual1756 by1722 the acknowledging1922 of every3956 good thing18 which3588 is in1722 you5213 in1519 Christ5547 Jesus2424.
7For1063 we have2192 great4183 joy5485 and2532 consolation3874 in1909 thy4675 love26, because3754 the bowels4698 of the saints40 are refreshed373 by1223 thee4675, brother80.
8Wherefore1352, though I might be2192 much4183 bold3954 in1722 Christ5547 to enjoin2004 thee4671 that which is convenient433,
9Yet for1223 love's26 sake I3870 rather3123 beseech3870 thee, being5607 such an one5108 as5613 Paul3972 the aged4246, and1161 now3570 also2532 a prisoner1198 of Jesus2424 Christ5547.
10I beseech3870 thee4571 for4012 my1699 son5043 Onesimus3682, whom3739 I have begotten1080 in1722 my3450 bonds1199:
11Which3588 in time past4218 was890 to thee4671 unprofitable890, but1161 now3570 profitable2173 to thee4671 and2532 to me1698:
12Whom3739 I have sent again375: thou4771 therefore1161 receive4355 him846, that is5123, mine own1699 bowels4698:
13Whom3739 I1473 would1014 have retained2722 with4314 me1683, that2443 in thy4675 stead5228 he might have ministered1247 unto me3427 in1722 the bonds1199 of the gospel2098:
14But1161 without5565 thy4674 mind1106 would2309 I do4160 nothing3762; that3363 thy4675 benefit18 should5600 not3363 be5600 as5613 it were of2596 necessity318, but235 willingly1595 2596.
15For1063 1223 perhaps5029 he5563 therefore5124 departed5563 for4314 a season5610, that2443 thou shouldest receive568 him846 for ever166;
16Not now3765 as5613 a servant1401, but235 above5228 a servant1401, a brother80 beloved27, specially3122 to me1698, but1161 how much4214 more3123 unto thee4671, both2532 in1722 the flesh4561, and2532 in1722 the Lord2962?
17If1487 thou count2192 me1691 therefore3767 a partner2844, receive4355 him846 as5613 myself1691.
18If1161 1487 he hath wronged91 thee4571, or2228 oweth3784 thee ought5100, put1677 that5124 on1677 mine account1698;
19I1473 Paul3972 have written1125 it with mine own1699 hand5495, I1473 will repay661 it: albeit3363 I do3004 not3363 say3004 to thee4671 how3754 thou owest4359 unto me3427 even2532 thine own self4572 besides4359.
20Yea3483, brother80, let3685 me1473 have joy3685 of thee4675 in1722 the Lord2962: refresh373 my3450 bowels4698 in1722 the Lord2962.
21Having confidence3982 in thy4675 obedience5218 I wrote1125 unto thee4671, knowing1492 that3754 thou wilt4160 also2532 do4160 more than3739 5228 I say3004.
22But1161 withal260 prepare2090 me3427 also2532 a lodging3578: for1063 I trust1679 that3754 through1223 your5216 prayers4335 I shall be given5483 unto you5213.
23There salute782 thee4571 Epaphras1889, my3450 fellowprisoner4869 in1722 Christ5547 Jesus2424;
24Marcus3138, Aristarchus708, Demas1214, Lucas3065, my3450 fellowlabourers4904.
25The grace5485 of our2257 Lord2962 Jesus2424 Christ5547 be with3326 your5216 spirit4151. Amen281. 1125 from575 Rome4516 to4314 Philemon5371, by1223 Onesimus3682 a servant3610.
