1Paul^G3972, a prisoner^G1198 of Christ^G5547 Jesus^G2424, and^G2532 Timothy^G5095 our brother^G80, to Philemon^G5371 our^G2257 beloved^G27 and^G2532 fellow-worker^G4904, 2and^G2532 to^G27 Apphia^G682 our sister, and^G2532 to^G27 Archippus^G751 our^G2257 fellow-soldier^G4961, and^G2532 to the church^G1577 in^G2596 thy^G4675 house^G3624: 3Grace^G5485 to you^G5213 and^G2532 peace^G1515 from^G575 God^G2316 our^G2257 Father^G3962 and^G2532 the Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547. 4I thank^G2168 my^G3450 God^G2316 always^G3842, making^G4160 mention^G3417 of thee^G4675 in^G1909 my^G3450 prayers^G4335, 5hearing^G191 of thy^G4675 love^G26, and^G2532 of the faith^G4102 which^G3739 thou hast^G2192 toward^G4314 the Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424, and^G2532 toward^G1519 all^G3956 the saints^G40; 6that^G3704 the fellowship^G2842 of thy^G4675 faith^G4102 may become^G1096 effectual^G1756, in^G1722 the knowledge^G1922 of every^G3956 good thing^G18 which is^G3588 in^G1722 you^G5213, unto^G1519 Christ^G5547. 7For^G1063 I had^G2192 much^G4183 joy^G5479 and^G2532 comfort^G3874 in^G1909 thy^G4675 love^G26, because^G3754 the hearts^G4698 of the saints^G40 have been refreshed^G373 through^G1223 thee^G4675, brother^G80. 8Wherefore^G1352, though I have^G2192 all^G4183 boldness^G3954 in^G1722 Christ^G5547 to enjoin^G2004 thee^G4671 that which is befitting^G433, 9yet for^G1223 love's^G26 sake^G1223 I^G3870 rather^G3123 beseech^G3870, being^G5607 such a one^G5108 as^G5613 Paul^G3972 the aged^G4246, and^G1161 now^G3570 a prisoner^G1198 also^G2532 of Christ^G5547 Jesus^G2424: 10I beseech^G3870 thee^G4571 for^G4012 my^G1700 child^G5043, whom^G3739 I have begotten^G1080 in^G1722 my^G3450 bonds^G1199, Onesimus^G3682, 11who^G3588 once^G4218 was^G3588 unprofitable^G890 to thee^G4671, but^G1161 now^G3570 is profitable^G2173 to thee^G4671 and^G2532 to me^G1698: 12whom^G3739 I have sent back^G375 to thee^G4771 in^G4355 his own person^G846, that^G5124 is^G2076, my very^G1699 heart^G4698: 13whom^G3739 I^G1473 would^G1014 fain have kept^G2722 with^G4314 me^G1683, that^G2443 in^G5228 thy^G4675 behalf^G5228 he might minister^G1247 unto me^G3427 in^G1722 the bonds^G1199 of the gospel^G2098: 14but^G1161 without^G5565 thy^G4674 mind^G1106 I^G2309 would do^G4160 nothing^G3762; that^G2443 thy^G4675 goodness^G18 should^G5600 not^G3361 be^G5600 as of^G2596 necessity^G318, but^G235 of^G2596 free will^G1595. 15For^G1063 perhaps^G5029 he^G5563 was therefore^G5124 parted^G5563 from thee for^G4314 a season^G5610, that^G2443 thou shouldest have^G568 him^G846 for ever^G166; 16no longer^G3765 as^G5613 a servant^G1401, but^G235 more^G5228 than a servant^G1401, a brother^G80 beloved^G27, specially^G3122 to me^G1698, but^G1161 how much^G4214 rather^G3123 to thee^G4671, both^G2532 in^G1722 the flesh^G4561 and^G2532 in^G1722 the Lord^G2962. 17If^G1487 then^G3767 thou countest^G2192 me^G1691 a partner^G2844, receive^G4355 him^G846 as^G5613 myself^G1691. 18But if^G1487 he hath wronged^G91 thee^G4571 at all, or^G2228 oweth^G3784 thee^G4571 aught, put^G1677 that^G5124 to mine^G1698 account^G1677; 19I^G1473 Paul^G3972 write^G1125 it^G1473 with mine own^G1699 hand^G5495, I^G1473 will repay^G661 it: that^G2443 I say^G3004 not^G3361 unto thee^G4671 that^G3754 thou owest^G4359 to me^G3427 even^G2532 thine own self^G4572 besides^G4359. 20Yea^G3483, brother^G80, let^G3685 me^G1473 have joy^G3685 of thee^G4675 in^G1722 the Lord^G2962: refresh^G373 my^G3450 heart^G4698 in^G1722 Christ^G2962. 21Having confidence^G3982 in^G5218 thine^G4675 obedience^G5218 I write^G1125 unto thee^G4671, knowing^G1492 that^G3754 thou wilt do^G4160 even^G2532 beyond^G5228 what I say^G3004. 22But^G1161 withal^G260 prepare^G2090 me^G3427 also^G2532 a lodging^G3578: for^G1063 I hope^G1679 that^G3754 through^G1223 your^G5216 prayers^G4335 I shall be granted^G5483 unto you^G5213. 23Epaphras^G1889, my^G3450 fellow-prisoner^G4869 in^G1722 Christ^G5547 Jesus^G2424, saluteth^G782 thee^G4571; 24 and so do Mark^G3138, Aristarchus^G708, Demas^G1214, Luke^G3065, my^G3450 fellow-workers^G4904. 25The grace^G5485 of our^G2257 Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547 be with^G3326 your^G5216 spirit^G4151. Amen^G281.
