KJV_Strong : Philemon 1
1. Paul,[G3972] a prisoner[G1198] of Jesus[G2424] Christ,[G5547] and[G2532] Timothy[G5095] our brother,[G80] unto Philemon[G5371] our dearly beloved,[G27] and[G2532] fellow laborer,[G4904]
2. And[G2532] to our beloved[G27] Apphia,[G682] and[G2532] Archippus[G751] our[G2257] fellow soldier,[G4961] and[G2532] to the[G3588] church[G1577] in[G2596] thy[G4675] house: [G3624]
3. Grace[G5485] to you,[G5213] and[G2532] peace,[G1515] from[G575] God[G2316] our[G2257] Father[G3962] and[G2532] the Lord[G2962] Jesus[G2424] Christ.[G5547]
4. I thank[G2168] my[G3450] God,[G2316] making[G4160] mention[G3417] of thee[G4675] always[G3842] in[G1909] my[G3450] prayers,[G4335]
5. Hearing[G191] of thy[G4675] love[G26] and[G2532] faith,[G4102] which[G3739] thou hast[G2192] toward[G4314] the[G3588] Lord[G2962] Jesus,[G2424] and[G2532] toward[G1519] all[G3956] saints;[G40]
6. That[G3704] the[G3588] communication[G2842] of thy[G4675] faith[G4102] may become[G1096] effectual[G1756] by[G1722] the acknowledging[G1922] of every[G3956] good thing[G18] which[G3588] is in[G1722] you[G5213] in[G1519] Christ[G5547] Jesus.[G2424]
7. For[G1063] we have[G2192] great[G4183] joy[G5485] and[G2532] consolation[G3874] in[G1909] thy[G4675] love,[G26] because[G3754] the[G3588] bowels[G4698] of the[G3588] saints[G40] are refreshed[G373] by[G1223] thee,[G4675] brother.[G80]
8. Wherefore,[G1352] though I might be[G2192] much[G4183] bold[G3954] in[G1722] Christ[G5547] to enjoin[G2004] thee[G4671] that which is convenient,[G433]
9. Yet for love's sake[G1223] [G26] I rather[G3123] beseech[G3870] thee, being[G5607] such a one[G5108] as[G5613] Paul[G3972] the aged,[G4246] and[G1161] now[G3570] also[G2532] a prisoner[G1198] of Jesus[G2424] Christ.[G5547]
10. I beseech[G3870] thee[G4571] for[G4012] my[G1699] son[G5043] Onesimus,[G3682] whom[G3739] I have begotten[G1080] in[G1722] my[G3450] bonds: [G1199]
11. Which[G3588] in time past[G4218] was to thee[G4671] unprofitable,[G890] but[G1161] now[G3570] profitable[G2173] to thee[G4671] and[G2532] to me: [G1698]
12. Whom[G3739] I have sent again:[G375] thou[G4771] therefore[G1161] receive[G4355] him,[G846] that is,[G5123] mine own[G1699] bowels: [G4698]
13. Whom[G3739] I[G1473] would[G1014] have retained[G2722] with[G4314] me,[G1683] that[G2443] in thy stead[G5228] [G4675] he might have ministered unto[G1247] me[G3427] in[G1722] the[G3588] bonds[G1199] of the[G3588] gospel: [G2098]
14. But[G1161] without[G5565] thy[G4674] mind[G1106] would[G2309] I do[G4160] nothing;[G3762] that[G2443] thy[G4675] benefit[G18] should not[G3361] be[G5600] as it were[G5613] of[G2596] necessity,[G318] but[G235] willingly.[G2596] [G1595]
15. For[G1063] perhaps[G5029] he therefore[G1223] [G5124] departed[G5563] for[G4314] a season,[G5610] that[G2443] thou shouldest receive[G568] him[G846] forever;[G166]
16. Not now[G3765] as[G5613] a servant,[G1401] but[G235] above[G5228] a servant,[G1401] a brother[G80] beloved,[G27] especially[G3122] to me,[G1698] but[G1161] how much[G4214] more[G3123] unto thee,[G4671] both[G2532] in[G1722] the flesh[G4561] and[G2532] in[G1722] the Lord?[G2962]
17. If[G1487] thou count[G2192] me[G1691] therefore[G3767] a partner,[G2844] receive[G4355] him[G846] as[G5613] myself.[G1691]
18. [G1161] If[G1487] he hath wronged[G91] thee,[G4571] or[G2228] oweth[G3784] thee aught,[G5100] put that on mine account;[G1677] [G5124] [G1698]
19. I[G1473] Paul[G3972] have written[G1125] it with mine own[G1699] hand,[G5495] I[G1473] will repay[G661] it: albeit[G2443] I do not[G3361] say[G3004] to thee[G4671] how[G3754] thou owest[G4359] unto me[G3427] even[G2532] thine own self[G4572] besides.
20. Yea,[G3483] brother,[G80] let me[G1473] have joy[G3685] of thee[G4675] in[G1722] the Lord:[G2962] refresh[G373] my[G3450] bowels[G4698] in[G1722] the Lord.[G2962]
21. Having confidence[G3982] in thy[G4675] obedience[G5218] I wrote[G1125] unto thee,[G4671] knowing[G1492] that[G3754] thou wilt also[G2532] do[G4160] more than[G5228] [G3739] I say.[G3004]
22. But[G1161] withal[G260] prepare[G2090] me[G3427] also[G2532] a lodging:[G3578] for[G1063] I trust[G1679] that[G3754] through[G1223] your[G5216] prayers[G4335] I shall be given[G5483] unto you.[G5213]
23. There salute[G782] thee[G4571] Epaphras,[G1889] my[G3450] fellow prisoner[G4869] in[G1722] Christ[G5547] Jesus;[G2424]
24. Mark,[G3138] Aristarchus,[G708] Demas,[G1214] Luke,[G3065] my[G3450] fellow laborers.[G4904]
25. The[G3588] grace[G5485] of our[G2257] Lord[G2962] Jesus[G2424] Christ[G5547] be with[G3326] your[G5216] spirit.[G4151] Amen.[G281]
