Philemon 1

DOUAI-RHEIMS	GREEK BIBLE
1 Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy, a brother: to Philemon, our beloved and fellow labourer;	1 Παυλος, δεσμιος του Ιησου Χριστου, και Τιμοθεος ο αδελφος, προς Φιλημονα τον αγαπητον και συνεργον ημων
2 And to Appia, our dearest sister, and to Archippus, our fellow soldier, and to the church which is in thy house:	2 και την Απφιαν την αγαπητην και Αρχιππον τον συστρατιωτην ημων και την κατ' οικον σου εκκλησιαν?
3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.	3 χαρις ειη υμιν και ειρηνη απο Θεου Πατρος ημων και Κυριου Ιησου Χριστου.
4 I give thanks to my God, always making a remembrance of thee in my prayers.	4 Ευχαριστω τον Θεον μου και μνημονευω σε παντοτε εν ταις προσευχαις μου,
5 Hearing of thy charity and faith, which thou hast in the Lord Jesus, and towards all the saints:	5 ακουων την αγαπην σου και την πιστιν, την οποιαν εχεις προς τον Κυριον Ιησουν και εις παντας τους αγιους,
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.	6 δια να γεινη η κοινωνια της πιστεως σου ενεργος δια της φανερωσεως παντος καλου του εν υμιν εις Χριστον Ιησουν.
7 For I have had great joy and consolation in thy charity, because the bowels of the saints have been refreshed by thee, brother.	7 Διοτι χαραν πολλην εχομεν και παρηγοριαν δια την αγαπην σου, επειδη τα σπλαγχνα των αγιων ανεπαυθησαν δια σου, αδελφε.
8 Wherefore though I have much confidence in Christ Jesus, to command thee that which is to the purpose:	8 Οθεν, αν και εχω εν Χριστω πολλην παρρησιαν να επιταττω εις σε το πρεπον,
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.	9 ομως δια την αγαπην μαλλον σε παρακαλω, τοιουτος ων ως Παυλος ο γερων, τωρα δε και δεσμιος του Ιησου Χριστου,
10 I beseech thee for my son, whom I have begotten in my bands, Onesimus,	10 σε παρακαλω υπερ του τεκνου μου, τον οποιον εγεννησα εν τοις δεσμοις μου, υπερ του Ονησιμου,
11 Who hath been heretofore unprofitable to thee, but now is profitable both to me and thee,	11 οστις ητο ποτε αχρηστος εις σε, τωρα δε εις σε και εις εμε ειναι χρησιμος,
12 Whom I have sent back to thee. And do thou receive him as my own bowels.	12 τον οποιον πεμπω οπισω. Συ δε αυτον, τουτεστι τα σπλαγχνα μου, δεχθητι?
13 Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered to me in the bands of the gospel:	13 τον οποιον εγω ηθελον να κρατω πλησιον μου, δια να με υπηρετη αντι σου εν τοις δεσμοις του ευαγγελιου?
14 But without thy counsel I would do nothing: that thy good deed might not be as it were of necessity, but voluntary.	14 χωρις ομως της γνωμης σου δεν ηθελησα να καμω ουδεν, δια να μη ηναι το αγαθον σου ως κατ' αναγκην, αλλ' εκουσιως.
15 For perhaps he therefore departed for a season from thee, that thou mightest receive him again for ever:	15 Διοτι ισως δια τουτο εχωρισθη προς ωραν, δια να απολαβης αυτον διαπαντος,
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?	16 ουχι πλεον ως δουλον, αλλ' υπερ δουλον, αδελφον αγαπητον, μαλιστα εις εμε, ποσω δε μαλλον εις σε και κατα σαρκα και εν Κυριω.
17 If therefore thou count me a partner, receive him as myself.	17 Εαν λοιπον εχης εμε κοινωνον, δεχθητι αυτον ως εμε.
18 And if he hath wronged thee in any thing, or is in thy debt, put that to my account.	18 Και εαν σε ηδικησεν εις τι η χρεωστη, λογαριαζε τουτο εις εμε?
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.	19 εγω ο Παυλος εγραψα με την χειρα μου, εγω θελω πληρωσει? δια να μη σοι λεγω οτι και σεαυτον ετι μοι χρεωστεις.
20 Yea, brother. May I enjoy thee in the Lord. Refresh my bowels in the Lord.	20 Ναι, αδελφε, ειθε να λαβω εγω ταυτην την χαριν παρα σου εν Κυριω? αναπαυσον μου τα σπλαγχνα εν Κυριω.
21 Trusting in thy obedience, I have written to thee: knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say.	21 Πεποιθως εις την υπακοην σου εγραψα προς σε, εξευρων οτι και πλειοτερον αφ' ο, τι λεγω θελεις καμει.
22 But withal prepare me also a lodging. For I hope that through your prayers I shall be given unto you.	22 Ενταυτω δε ετοιμαζε μοι και καταλυμα? επειδη ελπιζω οτι δια των προσευχων σας θελω χαρισθη εις εσας.
23 There salute thee Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus;	23 Ασπαζονται σε Επαφρας ο συναιχμαλωτος μου εν Χριστω Ιησου,
24 Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke my fellow labourers.	24 Μαρκος, Αρισταρχος, Δημας, Λουκας, οι συνεργοι μου.
25 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.	25 Η χαρις του Κυριου ημων Ιησου Χριστου ειη μετα του πνευματος υμων. Αμην.
