| 1:3 | grace be to you, and pees of God oure fader, and of the Lord Jhesu Crist. |
| 1:4 | I do thankingis to my God, euere more makinge mynde of thee in my preieris, |
| 1:5 | heringe thi charite and feith, that thou hast in the Lord Jhesu, and to alle hooli men, |
| 1:6 | that the comynyng of thi feith be maad opyn, in knowing of al good thing in Crist Jhesu. |
| 1:7 | And Y hadde greet ioye and coumfort in thi charite, for the entrailis of hooli men restiden bi thee, brother. |
| 1:8 | For which thing Y hauynge myche trist in Crist Jhesu, to comaunde to thee that that perteyneth to profit; |

| 1:13 | whom Y wolde withholde with me, that he schulde serue for thee to me in boondis of the gospel; |
| 1:14 | but with out thi counseil Y wolde not do ony thing, that thi good schulde not be as of nede, but wilful. |
| 1:15 | For perauenture therfor he departide fro thee for a tyme, that thou schuldist resseyue hym with outen ende; |
| 1:16 | now not as a seruaunt, but for a seruaunt a most dere brother, most to me; and how myche more to thee, bothe in fleisch and in the Lord? |
| 1:17 | Therfor if thou hast me a felowe, resseyue hym as me; for if he hath ony thing anoied thee, |

| 1:19 | Y Poul wroot with myn hoond, Y schal yelde; that Y seie not to thee, that also thou owist to me thi silf. |

| 1:1 | Paul a prisoner of Iesus Christ, and our brother Timotheus, vnto Philemon our deare friende, and fellowe helper, |
| 1:2 | And to our deare sister Apphia, and to Archippus our fellowe souldier, and to the Church that is in thine house: |
| 1:3 | Grace be with you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ. |
| 1:4 | I giue thanks to my God, making mention alwaies of thee in my praiers, |
| 1:5 | (When I heare of thy loue and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Iesus, and towarde all Saintes) |
| 1:6 | That the fellowship of thy faith may bee made effectuall, and that whatsoeuer good thing is in you through Christ Iesus, may be knowen. |
| 1:7 | For we haue great ioy and consolation in thy loue, because by thee, brother, the Saintes bowels are comforted. |
| 1:8 | Wherefore, though I bee very bolde in Christ to commaund thee that which is conuenient, |
| 1:9 | Yet for loues sake I rather beseeche thee, though I be as I am, euen Paul aged, and euen nowe a prisoner for Iesus Christ. |
| 1:10 | I beseeche thee for my sonne Onesimus, whome I haue begotten in my bondes, |
| 1:11 | Which in times past was to thee vnprofitable, but nowe profitable both to thee and to me, |
| 1:12 | Whome I haue sent againe: thou therefore receiue him, that is mine owne bowels, |
| 1:13 | Whom I woulde haue reteined with mee, that in thy steade he might haue ministred vnto me in the bondes of the Gospel. |
| 1:14 | But without thy minde woulde I doe nothing, that thy benefite should not be as it were of necessitie, but willingly. |
| 1:15 | It may be that he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receiue him for euer, |
| 1:16 | Not now as a seruant, but aboue a seruant, euen as a brother beloued, specially to me: howe much more then vnto thee, both in the flesh and in the Lord? |
| 1:17 | If therefore thou count our thinges common, receiue him as my selfe. |
| 1:18 | If he hath hurt thee, or oweth thee ought, that put on mine accounts. |
| 1:19 | I Paul haue written this with mine owne hande: I will recompense it, albeit I doe not say to thee, that thou owest moreouer vnto me euen thine owne selfe. |
| 1:20 | Yea, brother, let mee obteine this pleasure of thee in the Lord: comfort my bowels in the Lord. |
| 1:21 | Trusting in thine obedience, I wrote vnto thee, knowing that thou wilt do eue more then I say. |
| 1:22 | Moreouer also prepare mee lodging: for I trust through your prayers I shall be freely giuen vnto you. |
| 1:23 | There salute thee Epaphras my felowe prisoner in Christ Iesus, |
| 1:24 | Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas and Luke, my felowe helpers. |
| 1:25 | The grace of our Lord Iesus Christ be with your spirit, Amen. |
| 1:1 | Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon our beloved friend, and fellow laborer, |
| 1:2 | to our beloved Apphia, Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the church in your house: |
| 1:3 | Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. |
| 1:4 | I thank my God, making mention of you always in my prayers, |
| 1:5 | hearing of your love and faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints, |
| 1:6 | that the sharing of your faith may become effectual by acknowledging every good thing that is in you in Christ Jesus. |
| 1:7 | Because, we have great joy and consolation in your love, because, the hearts of the saints have been refreshed by you, brother. |
| 1:8 | Therefore, although I could be very bold in Christ to command you that which is appropriate, |
| 1:9 | yet for love's sake I rather make request of you, being such a one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ: |
| 1:10 | I make request of you for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten while in my chains, |
| 1:11 | who was formerly unprofitable to you, but is now profitable to you and to me. |
| 1:12 | Whom I have sent again. Therefore you receive him, that is, my own heart, |
| 1:13 | whom I would have kept with me, that in your position, he might have ministered to me in the chains of the gospel. |
| 1:14 | But I did not want to do anything without your consent, that your goodness might not be of obligation, but voluntary. |
| 1:15 | Because, perhaps he departed for a season for this reason, that you might receive him forever, |
| 1:16 | not now as a servant, but more than a servant, a beloved brother, especially to me but how much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord? |
| 1:17 | If then you count me as a partner, receive him as you would me. |
| 1:18 | If he has wronged you, or owes you anything, put that on my account. |
| 1:19 | I Paul have written this with my own hand, I will repay it, not to mention to you how you also owe to me even your own lives. |
| 1:20 | Yes, brother, let me have joy from you in the Lord; refresh my heart in the Lord. |
| 1:21 | Having confidence in your obedience, I wrote to you, knowing that you will also do even more than I say. |
| 1:22 | But, meanwhile, prepare for me a guest room also, because I trust that through the prayers of you all I shall be given to you all. |
| 1:23 | Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, greets you, |
| 1:24 | also Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, Luke, my fellow laborers. |
| 1:25 | The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen. |
