Chapter 1
1Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, To Philemon our beloved fellow worker,
(Hebrew unavailable)
2to Apphia our sister, to Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the church that meets at your house:
(Hebrew unavailable)
3Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
(Hebrew unavailable)
4I always thank my God, remembering you in my prayers,
(Hebrew unavailable)
5because I hear about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints.
(Hebrew unavailable)
6I pray that your partnership in the faith may become effective as you fully acknowledge every good thing that is ours in Christ.
(Hebrew unavailable)
7I take great joy and encouragement in your love, because you, brother, have refreshed the hearts of the saints.
(Hebrew unavailable)
8So although in Christ I am bold enough to order you to do what is proper,
(Hebrew unavailable)
9I prefer to appeal on the basis of love. For I, Paul, am now aged, and a prisoner of Christ Jesus as well.
(Hebrew unavailable)
10I appeal to you for my child Onesimus, whose father I became while I was in chains.
(Hebrew unavailable)
11Formerly he was useless to you, but now he has become useful both to you and to me.
(Hebrew unavailable)
12I am sending back to you him who is my very heart.
(Hebrew unavailable)
13I would have liked to keep him with me, so that on your behalf he could minister to me in my chains for the gospel.
(Hebrew unavailable)
14But I did not want to do anything without your consent, so that your goodness will not be out of compulsion, but by your own free will.
(Hebrew unavailable)
15For perhaps this is why he was separated from you for a while, so that you might have him back for good—
(Hebrew unavailable)
16no longer as a slave, but better than a slave, as a beloved brother. He is especially beloved to me, but even more so to you, both in person and in the Lord.
(Hebrew unavailable)
17So if you consider me a partner, receive him as you would receive me.
(Hebrew unavailable)
18But if he has wronged you in any way or owes you anything, charge it to my account.
(Hebrew unavailable)
19I, Paul, write this with my own hand. I will repay it—not to mention that you owe me your very self.
(Hebrew unavailable)
20Yes, brother, let me have some benefit from you in the Lord. Refresh my heart in Christ.
(Hebrew unavailable)
21Confident of your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even more than I ask.
(Hebrew unavailable)
22In the meantime, prepare a guest room for me, because I hope that through your prayers I will be restored to you.
(Hebrew unavailable)
23Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, sends you greetings,
(Hebrew unavailable)
24as do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers.
(Hebrew unavailable)
25The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
(Hebrew unavailable)
