Philemon 1:10

1
Paul, a prisoner
of Jesus Christ, and Timothy
our
brother, unto Philemon our dearly beloved, and fellowlabourer,
2
And to
our
beloved Apphia, and Archippus our fellowsoldier, and to the church in thy house:
3
Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
4
I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers,
5
Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints;
6
That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.
7
For we have great joy and consolation in thy love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother.
8
Wherefore, though I might be much bold in Christ to enjoin thee that which is convenient,
9
Yet for love’s sake I rather beseech
thee
, being such an one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.
I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds:
11
Which in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now profitable to thee and to me:
12
Whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive him, that is, mine own bowels:
13
Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered unto me in the bonds of the gospel:
14
But without thy mind would I do nothing; that thy benefit should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly.
15
For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receive him for ever;
16
Not now as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved, specially to me, but how much more unto thee, both in the flesh, and in the Lord?
17
If thou count me therefore a partner, receive him as myself.
18
If he hath wronged thee, or oweth
thee
ought, put that on mine account;
19
I Paul have written
it
with mine own hand, I will repay
it
: albeit I do not say to thee how thou owest unto me even thine own self besides.
20
Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord: refresh my bowels in the Lord.
21
Having confidence in thy obedience I wrote unto thee, knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say.
22
But withal prepare me also a lodging: for I trust that through your prayers I shall be given unto you.
23
There salute thee Epaphras, my fellowprisoner in Christ Jesus;
24
Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas, my fellowlabourers.
25
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ
be
with your spirit. Amen.
