1:1
Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon, our beloved friend and fellow worker,
1:2
to Apphia our sister, to Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the Church that meets in your house:
1:3
grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
1:4
I always give thanks to my God when I remember you in my prayers,
1:5
because I hear of the love and faith that you have for the Lord Jesus and for all the saints.
1:6
I pray that the sharing of your faith may become even more effective so that you may come to perceive all the blessings we have in Christ.
1:7
Your love has given me much joy and encouragement because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed by you, my brother.
1:8
Therefore, although I am confident that in Christ I have the right to command you to do your duty,
1:9
I would rather appeal to you on the basis of love. I, Paul, an old man, and now also a prisoner for Christ Jesus,
1:10
am appealing to you on behalf of my child, Onesimus, whom I have fathered during my imprisonment.
1:11
He was formerly useless to you, but now he is indeed useful both to you and to me.
1:12
Therefore, I am sending him back to you, that is, I am sending my very own heart.
1:13
I wanted to keep him with me so that he might be of service to me on your behalf during my imprisonment for the gospel,
1:14
but I did not want to do anything without your knowledge, so that your good deed might be voluntary and not compelled.
1:15
Perhaps this is the reason he was separated from you for a while, so that you might have him back forever,
1:16
no longer as a slave, but as more than a slave: as a brother. He is beloved especially to me, but even more so to you, both as a man and in the Lord.
1:17
Therefore, if you consider me to be a friend, welcome him as you would welcome me.
1:18
If he has wronged you in any way or owes you anything, charge that to my account.
1:19
I, Paul, am writing this with my own hand: I will repay it. I say nothing about the fact that you owe me your very self.
1:20
Yes, my brother, grant me some benefit in the Lord. Set my heart at rest in Christ.
1:21
I have written to you confident of your acceptance, and in fact I am certain that you will do even more than I ask.
1:22
At the same time, please prepare a guest room for me, for I am hoping through your prayers to be restored to you.
1:23
Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, sends you greetings,
1:24
and so do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers.
1:25
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
