Philemon 1



 1. Paul <3972-Paulos->, a prisoner <1198-desmios-> of Jesus 
<2424-Iesous-> Christ <5547-Christos->, and Timothy <5095-
Timotheos-> [our] brother <0080-adephos->, unto Philemon <5371-
Philemon-> our dearly beloved <0027-agapetos->, and 
fellowlabourer <4904-sunergos->,



 2 And to [our] beloved <0027-agapetos-> Apphia <0682-Apphia->, 
and Archippus <0751-Archippos-> our fellowsoldier <4961-
sustratiotes->, and to the church <1577-ekklesia-> in thy house 
<3624-oikos->:



 3 Grace <5485-charis-> to you, and peace <1515-eirene->, from 
God <2316-theos-> our Father <3962-pater-> and the Lord <2962-
kurios-> Jesus <2424-Iesous-> Christ <5547-Christos->.



 4 I thank <2168-eucharisteo-> my God <2316-theos->, making 
<4160-poieo-> mention <3417-mneia-> of thee always <3842-pantote-
> in my prayers <4335-proseuche->,



 5 Hearing <0191-akouo-> of thy love <0026-agape-> and faith 
<4102-pistis->, which <3739-hos-> thou hast <2192-echo-> toward 
<4314-pros-> the Lord <2962-kurios-> Jesus <2424-Iesous->, and 
toward <1519-eis-> all <3956-pas-> saints <0040-hagios->;



 6 That the communication <2842-koinonia-> of thy faith <4102-
pistis-> may become <1096-ginomai-> effectual <1756-energes-> by 
the acknowledging <1922-epignosis-> of every <3956-pas-> good 
<0018-agathos-> thing which <3588-ho-> is in you in Christ <5547-
Christos-> Jesus <2424-Iesous->.



 7 For we have <2192-echo-> great <4183-polus-> joy <5485-charis-
> and consolation <3874-paraklesis-> in thy love <0026-agape->, 
because <3754-hoti-> the bowels <4698-splagchnon-> of the saints 
<0040-hagios-> are refreshed <0373-anapano-> by thee, brother 
<0080-adephos->.



 8. Wherefore <1352-dio->, though I might be much <4183-polus-> 
bold <3954-parrhesia-> in Christ <5547-Christos-> to enjoin 
<2004-epitasso-> thee that which is convenient <0433-aneko->,



 9 Yet for love's <0026-agape-> sake I rather <3123-mallon-> 
beseech <3870-parakaleo-> [thee], being <5607-on-> such <5108-
toioutos-> an one as Paul <3972-Paulos-> the aged <4246-
presbutes->, and now <3570-nuni-> also <2532-kai-> a prisoner 
<1198-desmios-> of Jesus <2424-Iesous-> Christ <5547-Christos->.



 10 I beseech <3870-parakaleo-> thee for my son <5043-teknon-> 
Onesimus <3682-Onesimos->, whom <3739-hos-> I have begotten 
<1080-gennao-> in my bonds <1199-desmon->:



 11 Which <3588-ho-> in time <4218-pote-> past was to thee 
unprofitable <0890-achrestos->, but now <3570-nuni-> profitable 
<2173-euchrestos-> to thee and to me:



 12 Whom <3739-hos-> I have sent <0628-apolouo-> again <0375-
anapempo->: thou therefore receive <4355-proslambano-> him, that 
is, mine <1699-emos-> own bowels <4698-splagchnon->:



 13 Whom <3739-hos-> I would have retained <2722-katecho-> with 
me, that in thy stead <5228-huper-> he might have ministered 
<1247-diakoneo-> unto me in the bonds <1199-desmon-> of the 
gospel <2098-euaggelion->:



 14 But without <5565-choris-> thy mind <1106-gnome-> would 
<2309-thelo-> I do <4160-poieo-> nothing <3762-oudeis->; that 
thy benefit <0018-agathos-> should not be as it were of 
necessity <0318-anagke->, but willingly <1595-hekousion->.



 15 For perhaps <5029-tacha-> he therefore <5124-touto-> 
departed <5563-chorizo-> for a season <5610-hora->, that thou 
shouldest receive <0568-apecho-> him for ever <0166-aionios->;



 16 Not now <3765-ouketi-> as a servant <1401-doulos->, but 
above <5228-huper-> a servant <1401-doulos->, a brother <0080-
adephos-> beloved <0027-agapetos->, specially <3122-malista-> to 
me, but how <4214-posos-> much <4214-posos-> more <3123-mallon-> 
unto thee, both <2532-kai-> in the flesh <4561-sarx->, and in 
the Lord <2962-kurios->?



 17 If <1487-ei-> thou count <2192-echo-> me therefore <3767-oun-
> a partner <2844-koinonos->, receive <4355-proslambano-> him as 
myself <1691-eme->.



 18 If <1487-ei-> he hath wronged <0091-adikeo-> thee, or <2228-
e-> oweth <3784-opheilo-> [thee] ought <5100-tis->, put <1677-
ellogeo-> that on <1677-ellogeo-> mine <1699-emos-> account 
<1677-ellogeo->;



 19 I Paul <3972-Paulos-> have written <1125-grapho-> [it] with 
mine own hand <5495-cheir->, I will repay <0661-apotino-> [it]: 
albeit <2443-hina-> I do not say <3004-lego-> to thee how <3754-
hoti-> thou owest <4359-prosopheilo-> unto me even <2532-kai-> 
thine <4572-seautou-> own <4572-seautou-> self <4572-seautou-> 
besides <4359-prosopheilo->.



 20 Yea <3483-nai->, brother <0080-adephos->, let me have joy 
<3685-oninemi-> of thee in the Lord <2962-kurios->: refresh 
<0373-anapano-> my bowels <4698-splagchnon-> in the Lord <2962-
kurios->.



 21 Having confidence <3982-peitho-> in thy obedience <5218-
hupakoe-> I wrote <1125-grapho-> unto thee, knowing <1492-eido-> 
that thou wilt also <2532-kai-> do <4160-poieo-> more <5228-
huper-> than <5228-huper-> I say <3004-lego->.



 22 But withal <0260-hama-> prepare <2090-hetoimazo-> me also 
<2532-kai-> a lodging <3578-xenia->: for I trust <1679-elpizo-> 
that through <1223-dia-> your <5216-humon-> prayers <4335-
proseuche-> I shall be given <5483-charizomai-> unto you.



 23 There salute <0782-aspazomai-> thee Epaphras <1889-Epaphras-
>, my fellowprisoner <4869-sunaichmalotos-> in Christ <5547-
Christos-> Jesus <2424-Iesous->;



 24 Marcus <3138-Markos->, Aristarchus <0708-Aristarchos->, 
Demas <1214-Demas->, Lucas <3065-Loukas->, my fellowlabourers 
<4904-sunergos->.



 25 The grace <5485-charis-> of our Lord <2962-kurios-> Jesus 
<2424-Iesous-> Christ <5547-Christos-> [be] with your <5216-
humon-> spirit <4151-pneuma->. Amen <0281-amen->.
