| 1:1 | Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timotheus the brother, to Philemon our beloved and fellow-worker, |
| 1:2 | and Apphia the beloved, and Archippus our fellow-soldier, and the assembly in thy house: |
| 1:3 | Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ! |
| 1:4 | I give thanks to my God, always making mention of thee in my prayers, |
| 1:5 | hearing of thy love and faith that thou hast unto the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints, |
| 1:6 | that the fellowship of thy faith may become working in the full knowledge of every good thing that `is' in you toward Christ Jesus; |
| 1:7 | for we have much joy and comfort in thy love, because the bowels of the saints have been refreshed through thee, brother. |
| 1:8 | Wherefore, having in Christ much boldness to command thee that which is fit -- |
| 1:9 | because of the love I rather entreat, being such an one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ; |
| 1:10 | I entreat thee concerning my child -- whom I did beget in my bonds -- Onesimus, |
| 1:11 | who once was to thee unprofitable, and now is profitable to me and to thee, |
| 1:12 | whom I did send again, and thou him (that is, my own bowels) receive, |
| 1:13 | whom I did wish to retain to myself, that in thy behalf he might minister to me in the bonds of the good news, |
| 1:14 | and apart from thy mind I willed to do nothing, that as of necessity thy good deed may not be, but of willingness, |
| 1:15 | for perhaps because of this he did depart for an hour, that age-duringly thou mayest have him, |
| 1:16 | no more as a servant, but above a servant -- a brother beloved, especially to me, and how much more to thee, both in the flesh and in the Lord! |
| 1:17 | If, then, with me thou hast fellowship, receive him as me, |
| 1:18 | and if he did hurt to thee, or doth owe anything, this to me be reckoning; |
| 1:19 | I, Paul did write with my hand, I -- I will repay; that I may not say that also thyself, besides, to me thou dost owe. |
| 1:20 | Yes, brother, may I have profit of thee in the Lord; refresh my bowels in the Lord; |
| 1:21 | having been confident in thy obedience I did write to thee, having known that also above what I may say thou wilt do; |
| 1:22 | and at the same time also prepare for me a lodging, for I hope that through your prayers I shall be granted to you. |
| 1:23 | Salute thee doth Epaphras, (my fellow-captive in Christ Jesus,) |
| 1:24 | Markus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lukas, my fellow-workmen! |
| 1:25 | The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ `is' with your spirit! Amen. |

| 1:2 | and to the beloved Appia and to Archippus oure felowe soudier and to the congregacion of thy housse. |
