[[new testament:interlinear:Philemon1-4|4]] I thank my God, making mention of you always in my prayers, [[new testament:interlinear:Philemon1-5|5]] Hearing of your love and faith, which you hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; [[new testament:interlinear:Philemon1-6|6]] That the communication of your faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus. [[new testament:interlinear:Philemon1-7|7]] For we have great joy and consolation in your love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by you, brother. [[new testament:interlinear:Philemon1-8|8]] Wherefore, though I might be much bold in Christ to enjoin you that which is convenient, [[new testament:interlinear:Philemon1-9|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. [[new testament:interlinear:Philemon1-10|10]] I beseech you for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds: [[new testament:interlinear:Philemon1-11|11]] Which in time past was to you unprofitable, but now profitable to you and to me: [[new testament:interlinear:Philemon1-12|12]] Whom I have sent again: you therefore receive him, that is, mine own bowels: [[new testament:interlinear:Philemon1-13|13]] Whom I would have retained with me, that in your stead he might have ministered to me in the bonds of the gospel: [[new testament:interlinear:Philemon1-14|14]] But without your mind would I do nothing; that your benefit should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly. [[new testament:interlinear:Philemon1-15|15]] For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that you shouldest receive him for ever; [[new testament:interlinear:Philemon1-16|16]] Not now as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved, specially to me, but how much more to you, both in the flesh, and in the Lord? [[new testament:interlinear:Philemon1-17|17]] If you count me therefore a partner, receive him as myself. [[new testament:interlinear:Philemon1-18|18]] If he hath wronged you, or owes [(//thee//)] ought, put that on mine account; [[new testament:interlinear:Philemon1-19|19]] I Paul have written [(//it//)] with mine own hand, I will repay [(//it//)]: albeit I do not say to you how you owes to me even thine own self besides. [[new testament:interlinear:Philemon1-20|20]] Yea, brother, let me have joy of you in the Lord: refresh my bowels in the Lord. [[new testament:interlinear:Philemon1-21|21]] Having confidence in your obedience I wrote to you, knowing that you wilt also do more than I say. [[new testament:interlinear:Philemon1-22|22]] But withal prepare me also a lodging: for I trust that through your prayers I shall be given to you. [[new testament:interlinear:Philemon1-23|23]] There salute you Epaphras, my fellow-prisoner in Christ Jesus; [[new testament:interlinear:Philemon1-24|24]] Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas, my fellow-labourers. [[new testament:interlinear:Philemon1-25|25]] The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [(//be//)] with your spirit. Amen. ---- [[http://christopedia.eu|{{:new_testament:matthew:matthew:chapters:home-icon.png?15|home}}]] Chapters: [[new testament:philemon:philemon:chapters:chapter1|1]] {{like>}}
