¹Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon, our beloved fellow worker,

KJVPaul^G3972, a prisoner^G1198 of Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547, and^G2532 Timothy^G5095 our brother^G80, unto Philemon^G5371 our^G2257 dearly beloved^G27, and^G2532 fellowlabourer^G4904,

² to the beloved Apphia, to Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the assembly in your house:

KJVAnd^G2532 to our beloved^G27 Apphia^G682, and^G2532 Archippus^G751 our^G2257 fellowsoldier^G4961, and^G2532 to the church^G1577 in^G2596 thy^G4675 house^G3624:

³ Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

KJVGrace^G5485 to you^G5213, and^G2532 peace^G1515, from^G575 God^G2316 our^G2257 Father^G3962 and^G2532 the Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547.

⁴ I thank my God always, making mention of you in my prayers,

KJVI thank^G2168^(G5719) my^G3450 God^G2316, making^G4160^(G5734) mention^G3417 of thee^G4675 always^G3842 in^G1909 my^G3450 prayers^G4335,

⁵ hearing of your love and of the faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints,

KJVHearing^G191^(G5723) of thy^G4675 love^G26 and^G2532 faith^G4102, which^G3739 thou hast^G2192^(G5719) toward^G4314 the Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424, and^G2532 toward^G1519 all^G3956 saints^G40;

⁶ that the fellowship of your faith may become effective in the knowledge of every good thing which is in us in Christ Jesus.

KJVThat^G3704 the communication^G2842 of thy^G4675 faith^G4102 may become^G1096^(G5638) effectual^G1756 by^G1722 the acknowledging^G1922 of every^G3956 good thing^G18 which^G3588 is in^G1722 you^G5213 in^G1519 Christ^G5547 Jesus^G2424.

⁷ For we have much joy and comfort in your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you, brother.

KJVFor^G1063 we have^G2192^(G5719) great^G4183 joy^G5485 and^G2532 consolation^G3874 in^G1909 thy^G4675 love^G26, because^G3754 the bowels^G4698 of the saints^G40 are refreshed^G373^(G5769) by^G1223 thee^G4675, brother^G80.

⁸ Therefore though I have all boldness in Christ to command you that which is appropriate,

KJVWherefore^G1352, though I might be^G2192^(G5723) much^G4183 bold^G3954 in^G1722 Christ^G5547 to enjoin^G2004^(G5721) thee^G4671 that which is convenient^G433^(G5723),

⁹ yet for love’s sake I rather appeal to you, being such a one as Paul, the aged, but also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.

KJVYet for^G1223 love's^G26 sake I^G3870 rather^G3123 beseech^G3870^(G5719) thee, being^G5607^(G5752) such an one^G5108 as^G5613 Paul^G3972 the aged^G4246, and^G1161 now^G3570 also^G2532 a prisoner^G1198 of Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547.

¹⁰ I appeal to you for my child Onesimus, whom I have become the father of in my chains,

KJVI beseech^G3870^(G5719) thee^G4571 for^G4012 my^G1699 son^G5043 Onesimus^G3682, whom^G3739 I have begotten^G1080^(G5656) in^G1722 my^G3450 bonds^G1199:

¹¹ who once was useless to you, but now is useful to you and to me.

KJVWhich^G3588 in time past^G4218 was^G890 to thee^G4671 unprofitable^G890, but^G1161 now^G3570 profitable^G2173 to thee^G4671 and^G2532 to me^G1698:

¹² I am sending him back. Therefore receive him, that is, my own heart,

KJVWhom^G3739 I have sent again^G375^(G5656): thou^G4771 therefore^G1161 receive^G4355^(G5640) him^G846, that is^G5123^(G5748), mine own^G1699 bowels^G4698:

¹³ whom I desired to keep with me, that on your behalf he might serve me in my chains for the Good News.

KJVWhom^G3739 I^G1473 would^G1014^(G5711) have retained^G2722^(G5721) with^G4314 me^G1683, that^G2443 in thy^G4675 stead^G5228 he might have ministered^G1247^(G5725) unto me^G3427 in^G1722 the bonds^G1199 of the gospel^G2098:

¹⁴ But I was willing to do nothing without your consent, that your goodness would not be as of necessity, but of free will.

KJVBut^G1161 without^G5565 thy^G4674 mind^G1106 would^G2309^(G5656) I do^G4160^(G5658) nothing^G3762; that^G3363 thy^G4675 benefit^G18 should^G5600 not^G3363 be^G5600^(G5753) as^G5613 it were of^G2596 necessity^G318, but^G235 willingly^G1595^G2596.

¹⁵ For perhaps he was therefore separated from you for a while that you would have him forever,

KJVFor^G1063^G1223 perhaps^G5029 he^G5563 therefore^G5124 departed^G5563^(G5681) for^G4314 a season^G5610, that^G2443 thou shouldest receive^G568^(G5725) him^G846 for ever^G166;

¹⁶ no longer as a slave, but more than a slave, a beloved brother—especially to me, but how much rather to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.

KJVNot now^G3765 as^G5613 a servant^G1401, but^G235 above^G5228 a servant^G1401, a brother^G80 beloved^G27, specially^G3122 to me^G1698, but^G1161 how much^G4214 more^G3123 unto thee^G4671, both^G2532 in^G1722 the flesh^G4561, and^G2532 in^G1722 the Lord^G2962?

¹⁷ If then you count me a partner, receive him as you would receive me.

KJVIf^G1487 thou count^G2192^(G5719) me^G1691 therefore^G3767 a partner^G2844, receive^G4355^(G5640) him^G846 as^G5613 myself^G1691.

¹⁸ But if he has wronged you at all or owes you anything, put that to my account.

KJVIf^G1161^G1487 he hath wronged^G91^(G5656) thee^G4571, or^G2228 oweth^G3784^(G5719) thee ought^G5100, put^G1677 that^G5124 on^G1677^(G5720) mine account^G1698;

¹⁹ I, Paul, write this with my own hand: I will repay it (not to mention to you that you owe to me even your own self besides).

KJVI^G1473 Paul^G3972 have written^G1125^(G5656) it with mine own^G1699 hand^G5495, I^G1473 will repay^G661^(G5692) it: albeit^G3363 I do^G3004 not^G3363 say^G3004^(G5725) to thee^G4671 how^G3754 thou owest^G4359 unto me^G3427 even^G2532 thine own self^G4572 besides^G4359^(G5719).

²⁰ Yes, brother, let me have joy from you in the Lord. Refresh my heart in the Lord.

KJVYea^G3483, brother^G80, let^G3685 me^G1473 have joy^G3685^(G5636) of thee^G4675 in^G1722 the Lord^G2962: refresh^G373^(G5657) my^G3450 bowels^G4698 in^G1722 the Lord^G2962.

²¹ Having confidence in your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even beyond what I say.

KJVHaving confidence^G3982^(G5756) in thy^G4675 obedience^G5218 I wrote^G1125^(G5656) unto thee^G4671, knowing^G1492^(G5761) that^G3754 thou wilt^G4160 also^G2532 do^G4160^(G5692) more than^G3739^G5228 I say^G3004^(G5719).

²² Also, prepare a guest room for me, for I hope that through your prayers I will be restored to you.

KJVBut^G1161 withal^G260 prepare^G2090^(G5720) me^G3427 also^G2532 a lodging^G3578: for^G1063 I trust^G1679^(G5719) that^G3754 through^G1223 your^G5216 prayers^G4335 I shall be given^G5483^(G5701) unto you^G5213.

²³ Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, greets you,

KJVThere salute^G782^(G5736) thee^G4571 Epaphras^G1889, my^G3450 fellowprisoner^G4869 in^G1722 Christ^G5547 Jesus^G2424;

²⁴ as do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers.

KJVMarcus^G3138, Aristarchus^G708, Demas^G1214, Lucas^G3065, my^G3450 fellowlabourers^G4904.

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

KJVThe grace^G5485 of our^G2257 Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547 be with^G3326 your^G5216 spirit^G4151. Amen^G281. Written^G1125^(G5648) from^G575 Rome^G4516 to^G4314 Philemon^G5371, by^G1223 Onesimus^G3682 a servant^G3610.

¹Remind them to be in subjection to rulers and to authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work,

KJVPut^G5279 them^G846 in mind^G5279^(G5720) to be subject^G5293^(G5733) to principalities^G746 and^G2532 powers^G1849, to obey magistrates^G3980^(G5721), to be^G1511^(G5750) ready^G2092 to^G4314 every^G3956 good^G18 work^G2041,

KJVTo speak evil of^G987^(G5721) no man^G3367, to be^G1511^(G5750) no brawlers^G269, but gentle^G1933, shewing^G1731^(G5734) all^G3956 meekness^G4236 unto^G4314 all^G3956 men^G444.

³ For we were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.

KJVFor^G1063 we ourselves^G2249 also^G2532 were^G2258^(G5713)^G453 sometimes^G4218 foolish^G453, disobedient^G545, deceived^G4105^(G5746), serving^G1398^(G5723) divers^G4164 lusts^G1939 and^G2532 pleasures^G2237, living^G1236^(G5723) in^G1722 malice^G2549 and^G2532 envy^G5355, hateful^G4767, and hating^G3404^(G5723) one another^G240.

⁴ But when the kindness of God our Savior and his love toward mankind appeared,

KJVBut^G1161 after^G3753 that the kindness^G5544 and^G2532 love^G5363 of God^G2316 our^G2257 Saviour^G4990 toward man^G5363 appeared^G2014^(G5648),

⁵ not by works of righteousness which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy, he saved us through the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit,

KJVNot^G3756 by^G1537 works^G2041 of^G1722 righteousness^G1343 which^G3739 we^G2249 have done^G4160^(G5656), but^G235 according to^G2596 his^G846 mercy^G1656 he saved^G4982^(G5656) us^G2248, by^G1223 the washing^G3067 of regeneration^G3824, and^G2532 renewing^G342 of the Holy^G40 Ghost^G4151;

⁶ whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior;

⁷ that being justified by his grace, we might be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

KJVThat^G2443 being justified by^G1344^(G5685) his^G1565 grace^G5485, we should be made^G1096^(G5638) heirs^G2818 according to^G2596 the hope^G1680 of eternal^G166 life^G2222.

⁸ This saying is faithful, and concerning these things I desire that you insist confidently, so that those who have believed God may be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men;

KJVThis is a faithful^G4103 saying^G3056, and^G2532 these things^G4012^G5130 I will^G1014^(G5736) that thou^G4571 affirm constantly^G1226^(G5738), that^G2443 they which have believed^G4100^(G5761) in God^G2316 might be careful^G5431^(G5725) to maintain^G4291^(G5733) good^G2570 works^G2041. These things^G5023 are^G2076^(G5748) good^G2570 and^G2532 profitable^(G5624) unto men^G444.

⁹ but shun foolish questionings, genealogies, strife, and disputes about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.

KJVBut^G1161 avoid^G4026^(G5732) foolish^G3474 questions^G2214, and^G2532 genealogies^G1076, and^G2532 contentions^G2054, and^G2532 strivings about^G3163 the law^G3544; for^G1063 they are^G1526^(G5748) unprofitable^G512 and^G2532 vain^G3152.

¹¹ knowing that such a one is perverted and sinful, being self-condemned.

KJVKnowing^G1492^(G5761) that^G3754 he that is such^G5108 is subverted^G1612^(G5769), and^G2532 sinneth^G264^(G5719), being^G5607^(G5752) condemned of himself^G843.

¹² When I send Artemas to you, or Tychicus, be diligent to come to me to Nicopolis, for I have determined to winter there.

¹⁵ All who are with me greet you. Greet those who love us in faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.
