1From: Paul, a prisoner of the Messiah Jesus, and Timothy our brother. To: Philemon our dear friend and fellow worker,G3972G1198G2424G5547G2532G5095G80G5371G2257G27G2532G4904
2to Apphia our sister, to Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the church in your house.G2532G27G682G2532G751G2257G4961G2532G1577G2596G4675G3624

Paul’s Prayer for Philemon

4I always thank my God when I mention you in my prayers,G2168G3450G2316G4160G3417G4675G3842G1909G3450G4335
5because I keep hearing about your love for all the saints and the faith that you have in the Lord Jesus.G191G4675G26G2532G4102G3739G2192G4314G2962G2424G2532G1519G3956G40
6I pray that your partnership in the faith may become effective as you fully acknowledge every blessing that is ours in the Messiah.G3704G2842G4675G4102G1096G1756G1722G1922G3956G18G3588G1722G5213G1519G5547G2424
7For I have received considerable joy and encouragement from your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed, brother, through you.G1063G2192G4183G5485G2532G3874G1909G4675G26G3754G4698G40G373G1223G4675G80

Paul’s Plea for Onesimus

8For this reason, although in the Messiah I have complete freedom to order you to do what is proper,G1352G2192G4183G3954G1722G5547G2004G4671G433
9I prefer to make my appeal on the basis of love. I, Paul, as an old man and now a prisoner of the Messiah Jesus,G1223G26G3870G3123G3870G5607G5108G5613G3972G4246G1161G3570G2532G1198G2424G5547
10appeal to you on behalf of my child Onesimus, whose father I have become during my imprisonment.G3870G4571G4012G1699G5043G3682G3739G1080G1722G3450G1199
11Once he was useless to you, but now he is very useful both to you and to me.G3588G4218G890G4671G890G1161G3570G2173G4671G2532G1698
12As I send him back, it's like I'm coming along with him.G3739G375G4771G1161G4355G846G5123G1699G4698
13I wanted to keep him with me so that he could serve me in your place during my imprisonment for the gospel.G3739G1473G1014G2722G4314G1683G2443G4675G5228G1247G3427G1722G1199G2098
14Yet I did not want to do anything without your consent, so that your good deed might not be something forced, but voluntary.G1161G5565G4674G1106G2309G4160G3762G3363G4675G18G5600G3363G5600G5613G2596G318G235G1595G2596
15Perhaps this is why he was separated from you for a while, so that you could have him back forever,G1063G1223G5029G5563G5124G5563G4314G5610G2443G568G846G166
16no longer as a slave but better than a slave - as a dear brother, especially to me, but even more so to you, both as a person and as a believer.G3765G5613G1401G235G5228G1401G80G27G3122G1698G1161G4214G3123G4671G2532G1722G4561G2532G1722G2962
17So if you consider me a partner, welcome him as you would welcome me.G1487G2192G1691G3767G2844G4355G846G5613G1691
18If he has wronged you in any way or owes you anything, charge it to my account.G1161G1487G91G4571G2228G3784G5100G1677G5124G1677G1698
19I, Paul, am writing this with my own hand: I will repay it. (I will not mention to you that you owe me your very life.)G1473G3972G1125G1699G5495G1473G661G3363G3004G3363G3004G4671G3754G4359G3427G2532G4572G4359
20Yes, brother, I desire this favor from you in the Lord. Refresh my heart in the Messiah!G3483G80G3685G1473G3685G4675G1722G2962G373G3450G4698G1722G2962
21Confident of your obedience, I am writing to you because I know that you will do even more than I ask.G3982G4675G5218G1125G4671G1492G3754G4160G2532G4160G3739G5228G3004
22Meanwhile, prepare a guest room for me, too, for I am hoping through your prayers to be returned to you.G1161G260G2090G3427G2532G3578G1063G1679G3754G1223G5216G4335G5483G5213

23Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in the Messiah Jesus, sends you greetings,G782G4571G1889G3450G4869G1722G5547G2424
24as do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers.G3138G708G1214G3065G3450G4904
25May the grace of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah, be with your spirit! Amen.G5485G2257G2962G2424G5547G3326G5216G4151G281
