| 1:1 | Paul a prisoner of Iesus Christ, & Timothie our brother vnto Philemon our dearely beloued, and fellow labourer, |
| 1:2 | And to our beloued Apphia, and Archippus our fellow Souldier, and to the Church in thy house. |
| 1:3 | Grace to you, and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Iesus Christ. |
| 1:4 | I thanke my God, making mention of thee alwayes in my prayers, |
| 1:5 | Hearing of thy loue, and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Iesus, and toward all Saints: |
| 1:6 | That the communication of thy faith may become effectuall by the acknowledging of euery good thing, which is in you in Christ Iesus. |
| 1:7 | For wee haue great ioy and consolation in thy loue, because the bowels of the Saints are refreshed by thee, brother. |
| 1:8 | Wherefore, though I might bee much bolde in Christ to enioyne thee that which is conuenient; |
| 1:9 | Yet for loues sake I rather beseech thee, being such a one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Iesus Christ. |
| 1:10 | I beseech thee for my sonne Onesimus, whome I haue begotten in my bonds, |
| 1:11 | Which in time past was to thee vnprofitable: but now profitable to thee and to me: |

| 1:13 | Whome I would haue reteined with mee, that in thy stead hee might haue ministred vnto me in the bonds of the Gospel. |
| 1:14 | But without thy minde would I doe nothing, that thy benefite should not bee as it were of necessitie, but willingly. |
| 1:15 | For perhaps hee therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receiue him for euer: |
| 1:16 | Not now as a seruant, but aboue a seruant, a brother beloued, specially to mee, but how much more vnto thee, both in the flesh, and in the Lord? |
| 1:17 | If thou count mee therefore a partner, receiue him as my selfe. |
| 1:18 | If hee hath wronged thee, or oweth thee ought, put that on mine account. |
| 1:19 | I Paul haue written it with mine own hand, I will repay it: albeit I doe not say to thee how thou owest vnto me, euen thine owne selfe besides: |
| 1:20 | Yea, brother, let mee haue ioy of thee in the Lord: refresh my bowles in the Lord. |
| 1:21 | Hauing confidence in thy obedience, I wrote vnto thee, knowing that thou wilt also doe more then I say. |
| 1:22 | But withall prepare mee also a lodging: for I trust that through your prayers I shall be giuen vnto you. |
