¹ Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy, a brother, to Philemon, our beloved fellow laborer,	¹ Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy, a brother: to Philemon, our beloved and fellow labourer;
² and to Apphia, most beloved sister, and to Archippus, our fellow soldier, and to the church which is in your house.	² And to Appia, our dearest sister, and to Archippus, our fellow soldier, and to the church which is in thy house:
³ Grace and peace to you, from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.	³ Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
⁴ I give thanks to my God, always keeping remembrance of you in my prayers,	⁴ I give thanks to my God, always making a remembrance of thee in my prayers.
⁵ (for I am hearing of your charity and faith, which you have in the Lord Jesus and with all the saints)	⁵ Hearing of thy charity and faith, which thou hast in the Lord Jesus, and towards all the saints:
⁶ so that the participation of your faith may become evident by the recognition of every good work which is in you in Christ Jesus.	⁶ That the communication of thy faith may be made evident in the acknowledgment of every good work, that is in you in Christ Jesus.
⁷ For I have found great joy and consolation in your charity, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed by you, brother.	⁷ For I have had great joy and consolation in thy charity, because the bowels of the saints have been refreshed by thee, brother.
⁸ Because of this, I have enough confidence in Christ Jesus to command you concerning certain things,	⁸ Wherefore though I have much confidence in Christ Jesus, to command thee that which is to the purpose:
⁹ but I beg you instead, for the sake of charity, since you are so much like Paul: an old man and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.	⁹ For charity sake I rather beseech, whereas thou art such a one, as Paul an old man, and now a prisoner also of Jesus Christ.
¹⁰ I beg you, on behalf of my son, whom I have begotten in my chains, Onesimus.	¹⁰ I beseech thee for my son, whom I have begotten in my bands, Onesimus,
¹¹ In times past, he was useless to you, but now he is useful both to me and to you.	¹¹ Who hath been heretofore unprofitable to thee, but now is profitable both to me and thee,
¹² So I have sent him back to you. And may you receive him like my own heart.	¹² Whom I have sent back to thee. And do thou receive him as my own bowels.
¹³ I myself wanted to retain him with me, so that he might minister to me, on your behalf, while I am in the chains of the Gospel.	¹³ Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered to me in the bands of the gospel:
¹⁴ But I was willing to do nothing without your counsel, so as not to make use of your good deed as if out of necessity, but only willingly.	¹⁴ But without thy counsel I would do nothing: that thy good deed might not be as it were of necessity, but voluntary.
¹⁵ So perhaps, then, he departed from you for a time, so that you might receive him again for eternity,	¹⁵ For perhaps he therefore departed for a season from thee, that thou mightest receive him again for ever:
¹⁶ no longer as a servant, but, in place of a servant, a most beloved brother, especially to me: but how much so more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord!	¹⁶ Not now as a servant, but instead of a servant, a most dear brother, especially to me: but how much more to thee both in the flesh and in the Lord?
¹⁷ Therefore, if you hold me to be a companion, receive him as you would me.	¹⁷ If therefore thou count me a partner, receive him as myself.
¹⁸ But if he has harmed you in any way, or if he is in your debt, charge it to me.	¹⁸ And if he hath wronged thee in any thing, or is in thy debt, put that to my account.
¹⁹ I, Paul, have written this with my own hand: I will repay. And I need not tell you, that you are also in debt yourself, to me.	¹⁹ I Paul have written it with my own hand: I will repay it: not to say to thee, that thou owest me thy own self also.
²⁰ So it is, brother. May I delight with you in the Lord! Refresh my heart in Christ.	²⁰ Yea, brother. May I enjoy thee in the Lord. Refresh my bowels in the Lord.
²¹ I have written to you, trusting in your obedience, knowing, too, that you will do even more than what I say.	²¹ Trusting in thy obedience, I have written to thee: knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say.
²² But also, at once, prepare a lodging for me. For I am hoping, through your prayers, to present myself to you.	²² But withal prepare me also a lodging. For I hope that through your prayers I shall be given unto you.
²³ Greet Epaphras, my fellow captive in Christ Jesus,	²³ There salute thee Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus;
²⁴ and Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my helpers.	²⁴ Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke my fellow labourers.
²⁵ May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.	²⁵ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
