\v 1 Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and the brother Timothy to Philemon, our dear friend and fellow worker,
2016-06-16 22:16:53 +00:00
\v 2 and to Apphia our sister, and to Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the church that meets in your home.
2018-05-15 20:18:30 +00:00
\v 3 May grace be to you and peace from God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ.

\v 4 I always thank my God. I mention you in my prayers.
2018-05-15 20:18:30 +00:00
\v 5 I have heard of your love and the faith that you have in the Lord Jesus and for all the believers.
2016-06-10 00:07:04 +00:00
\v 6 I pray that the fellowship of your faith may be effective for the knowledge of everything good that is among us in Christ.
\v 7 For I have had much joy and comfort because of your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed by you, brother.

\v 8 Therefore, although I have all the boldness in Christ to command you to do what you should do,
2016-06-10 01:24:13 +00:00
\v 9 yet because of love, I appeal to you instead—I, Paul, an old man, and now a prisoner for Christ Jesus.

\v 10 I am asking you concerning my child Onesimus, whom I have fathered in my chains.
2016-06-17 00:51:59 +00:00
\v 11 For he once was useless to you, but now he is useful both to you and to me.
2016-06-16 22:16:53 +00:00
\v 12 I have sent him back to you, he who is my very heart.
\v 13 I wish I could have kept him with me, so he could serve me for you, while I am in chains for the sake of the gospel.

\v 14 But I did not want to do anything without your consent. I did not want your good deed to be from necessity but from good will.
\v 15 Perhaps for this he was separated from you for a time, so that you might have him back forever.
\v 16 No longer would he be a slave, but better than a slave, a beloved brother. He is beloved especially to me, and much more so to you, in both the flesh and in the Lord.

\v 17 So if you have me as a partner, receive him as me.
2016-06-16 22:26:00 +00:00
\v 18 If he has wronged you or owes you anything, charge that to me.
2017-05-24 13:57:58 +00:00
\v 19 I, Paul, write this with my own hand. I myself will pay it back—not to mention that you owe me your own self!
\v 20 Yes, brother, do me a favor in the Lord; refresh my heart in Christ.

\v 21 Confident about your obedience, I am writing to you. I know that you will do even more than I ask.
\v 22 At the same time, prepare a guest room for me, for I hope that through your prayers I will be given back to you.

\v 23 Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, greets you.
\v 24 So do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers.
2016-04-01 21:07:38 +00:00
\p
\v 25 May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
