1Greeting, Paul's Concern for a Slave<br/>Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy our our brother, Unto Philemon our dearly beloved, and fellow laborer, 
2and to our beloved Apphia , and Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the church in your house:
3Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
4Philemon's Love and Faith<br/>I thank my God, making mention of you always in my prayers,
5having heard of your love and faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus and toward all saints,
6that the communication of your faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.
7For we have great joy and consolation in your love, because the hearts <n>(bowels)</n> of the saints are refreshed by you, brother.
8The Plea for Onesimus<br/>Therefore, though I might be bold enough in Christ to enjoin you to do that which is befitting,
9yet for love's sake rather I beseech you, being such a one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.
10I beseech you for my son Onesimus , whom I have begotten in my bonds.
11In time past he was to you unprofitable , but now profitable to you and to me.
12I am sending him back. You therefore receive him, who is mine own heart.
13I would have retained him with me, that in your stead he might have ministered unto me in the bonds of the Gospel;
14but without your consent I would <n>(will)</n> do nothing, that your benefit <n>(goodness)</n> should not be, as it were, of necessity but willingly.
15For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that you should receive him back for ever--
16not now as a servant <n>(slave)</n>, but more than a servant <n>(slave)</n>: as a brother beloved, especially to me, but how much more unto you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.
17Philemon's Obedience Encouraged<br/>If you count me therefore a partner, receive him as myself.
18If he has wronged you, or owes you anything, put that on mine account.
19I, Paul , have written this with mine own hand: I will repay it; nevertheless <n>(al-be-it)</n> I do not say to you how you owe unto me even your own self besides.
20Yea, brother, let me have joy of you in the Lord; refresh my soul in the Lord.
21Having confidence in your obedience I wrote unto you, knowing that you will also do more than I say.
22But besides prepare me also a lodging, for I trust that through your prayers I shall be given unto you.
23Farewell<br/>There salute you Epaphras , my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus;
24also Marcus , Aristarchus , Demas and Luke <n>(Lucas)</n>, my fellow laborers .
25The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit . Amen.
