The Epistle of Paul to Philemon
Paul's joy upon hearing of the love and faith of Philemon.
Onesimus entreated for.


1 Paul, a prisoner[1] of Jesus Christ, and Timothy our brother, unto Philemon our dearly beloved, and fellowlabourer[2],

2 And to our beloved Apphia, and Archippus[3] our fellowsoldier, and to the church in thy house[4]:

3 Grace to you[5], and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

4 I thank my God[6], making mention of thee always in my prayers,

5 Hearing of thy love[7] and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints;

6 That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging[8] of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.

7 For we have great joy and consolation in thy love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother[9].

8 Wherefore, though I might be much bold[10] in Christ to enjoin thee that which is convenient,

9 Yet for love's sake I rather beseech thee, being such an one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.

10 I beseech thee for my son Onesimus[11], whom I have begotten[12] in my bonds:

11 Which in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now profitable to thee and to me:

12 Whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive him, that is, mine own bowels:

13 Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might[13] have ministered unto me in the bonds of the gospel:

14 But without thy mind would I do nothing; that thy benefit should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly[14].

15 For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receive him for ever[15];

16 Not now as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved[16], specially to me, but how much more unto thee, both in the flesh[17], and in the Lord?

17 If thou count me therefore a partner[18], receive him as myself.

18 If he hath wronged thee, or oweth thee ought, put that on mine account;

19 I Paul have written it with mine own hand, I will repay it: albeit I do not say to thee how thou owest unto me even thine own self besides.

20 Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord: refresh my bowels in the Lord.

21 Having confidence[19] in thy obedience I wrote unto thee, knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say.

22 But withal prepare me also a lodging: for I trust[20] that through your prayers[21] I shall be given unto you.

23 There salute thee Epaphras[22], my fellowprisoner in Christ Jesus;

24 Marcus[23][24], Aristarchus[25], Demas, Lucas[26][27], my fellowlabourers.

25 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.

Written from Rome to Philemon, by Onesimus, a servant.
