1:1  Paul a prisoner of Yeshua The Messiah, and brother Timotheus, to beloved Philemon and our companion laborer,
1:2  And to Aphia our beloved and to Arkippus our fellow laborer and to the church that is in your house.
1:3  Grace be with you and peace from God Our Father and from our Lord Yeshua The Messiah.
1:4  I thank my God always, and I remember you in my prayers,
1:5  Behold, from the time that I heard of your faith and love which you have toward our Lord Yeshua and toward all The Holy Ones,
1:6  That the sharing of your faith would produce fruit in works and in the knowledge of every good thing which you have in Yeshua The Messiah.
1:7  For we have great joy and comfort, for by your love the affections of the Saints have been refreshed.
1:8  Because of this, I have great freedom in The Messiah to command you those things that are right.
1:9  But for love's sake, I beg of you, I Paul, who am The Elder, as you know, and also a prisoner of Yeshua The Messiah,
1:10  I beg of you concerning my son Onesimus, whom I begot in my bondage,
1:11  He who was not useful to you at times, but now also is very useful to you and to me,
1:12  And I sent him to you, so receive him as my son.
1:13  For I was willing to keep him with me to minister to me on your behalf in the bondage of The Gospel.
1:14  But I did not want to do anything without your counsel, so that your benefit would not be by necessity, but by your will.
1:15  But perhaps also for this cause he departed for a time, so that you may have him for eternity,
1:16  Not as a Servant from now on, but more than a Servant; as my particularly beloved brother, how much more so yours, both in the flesh and in Our Lord?
1:17  If, therefore, you are my partner, receive him as mine.
1:18  And if you lack anything or he owes you a debt, put it to my account.
1:19  I, Paul, have written with my hand; I myself will pay, without saying to you also that you owe me your soul.
1:20  Yes, my brother, I am refreshed by you in Our Lord. Satisfy my love in The Messiah.
1:21  Because I trust that you will listen to me, I have written to you and I know that you will do more than what I have said.
1:22  But prepare for me at once a dwelling place, for I hope soon to be given to you by your prayers.
1:23  Epaphra, a fellow captive in Yeshua The Messiah, invokes your peace,
1:24  And Marcus, Aristarchus, Dema and Luqa, my helpers.
1:25  The grace of our Lord Yeshua The Messiah be with your spirit. Amen.
