1 Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy our brother, unto Philemon our dearly beloved, and fellowlabourer, KJVSD — Philemon 1:1
2 And to our beloved Apphia, and Archippus our fellowsoldier, and to the church in thy house: KJVSD — Philemon 1:2
3 Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. KJVSD — Philemon 1:3
4 I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers, KJVSD — Philemon 1:4
5 Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; KJVSD — Philemon 1:5
6 That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus. KJVSD — Philemon 1:6
7 For we have great joy and consolation in thy love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother. KJVSD — Philemon 1:7
8 Wherefore, though I might be much bold in Christ to enjoin thee that which is convenient KJVSD — Philemon 1:8
9 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. KJVSD — Philemon 1:9
10 I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds: KJVSD — Philemon 1:10
11 Which in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now profitable to thee and to me: KJVSD — Philemon 1:11
12 Whom I have sent again thou therefore receive him, that is mine own bowels: KJVSD — Philemon 1:12
13 Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered unto me in the bonds of the gospel: KJVSD — Philemon 1:13
14 But without thy mind would I do nothing; that thy benefit should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly . KJVSD — Philemon 1:14
15 For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receive him for ever; KJVSD — Philemon 1:15
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 ? KJVSD — Philemon 1:16
17 If thou count me therefore a partner, receive him as myself. KJVSD — Philemon 1:17
18 If he hath wronged thee, or oweth thee ought, put that on mine account; KJVSD — Philemon 1:18
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 KJVSD — Philemon 1:19
20 Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord: refresh my bowels in the Lord. KJVSD — Philemon 1:20
21 Having confidence in thy obedience I wrote unto thee, knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say KJVSD — Philemon 1:21
22 But withal prepare me also a lodging: for I trust that through your prayers I shall be given unto you. KJVSD — Philemon 1:22
23 There salute thee Epaphras, my fellowprisoner in Christ Jesus; KJVSD — Philemon 1:23
24 Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas, my fellowlabourers. KJVSD — Philemon 1:24
25 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen. Written from Rome to Philemon, by Onesimus a servant. KJVSD — Philemon 1:25
