Phn:01.01 Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy our brother,
          unto Philemon our dearly beloved, and fellowlabourer,

Phn:01.02 And to our beloved Apphia, and Archippus our fellowsoldier,
          and to the church in thy house:

Phn:01.03 Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord
          Jesus Christ.

Phn:01.04 I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers,

Phn:01.05 Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord
          Jesus, and toward all saints;

Phn:01.06 That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by
          the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in
          Christ Jesus.

Phn:01.07 For we have great joy and consolation in thy love, because the
          bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother.

Phn:01.08 Wherefore, though I might be much bold in Christ to enjoin
          thee that which is convenient,

Phn:01.09 Yet for love's sake I rather beseech thee, being such an one
          as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.

Phn:01.10 I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my
          bonds:

Phn:01.11 Which in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now
          profitable to thee and to me:

Phn:01.12 Whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive him, that is,
          mine own bowels:

Phn:01.13 Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might
          have ministered unto me in the bonds of the gospel:

Phn:01.14 But without thy mind would I do nothing; that thy benefit
          should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly.

Phn:01.15 For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that thou
          shouldest receive him for ever;

Phn:01.16 Not now as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved,
          specially to me, but how much more unto thee, both in the
          flesh, and in the Lord?

Phn:01.17 If thou count me therefore a partner, receive him as myself.

Phn:01.18 If he hath wronged thee, or oweth thee ought, put that on mine
          account;

Phn:01.19 I Paul have written it with mine own hand, I will repay it:
          albeit I do not say to thee how thou owest unto me even thine
          own self besides.

Phn:01.20 Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord: refresh my
          bowels in the Lord.

Phn:01.21 Having confidence in thy obedience I wrote unto thee, knowing
          that thou wilt also do more than I say.

Phn:01.22 But withal prepare me also a lodging: for I trust that through
          your prayers I shall be given unto you.

Phn:01.23 There salute thee Epaphras, my fellowprisoner in Christ Jesus;

Phn:01.24 Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas, my fellowlabourers.

Phn:01.25 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
