1:1 Paul
a
prisoner
of
Iesus
Christ,
&
Timothie
our
brother
vnto
Philemon
our
dearely
beloued,
and
fellow
labourer,
1:2 And
to
our
beloued
Apphia,
and
Archippus
our
fellow
Souldier,
and
to
the
Church
in
thy
house.
1:3 Grace
to
you,
and
peace
from
God
our
Father,
and
the
Lord
Iesus
Christ.
1:4 I
thanke
my
God,
making
mention
of
thee
alwayes
in
my
prayers,
1:5 Hearing
of
thy
loue,
and
faith,
which
thou
hast
toward
the
Lord
Iesus,
and
toward
all
Saints:
1:6 That
the
communication
of
thy
faith
may
become
effectuall
by
the
acknowledging
of
euery
good
thing,
which
is
in
you
in
Christ
Iesus.
1:7 For
wee
haue
great
ioy
and
consolation
in
thy
loue,
because
the
bowels
of
the
Saints
are
refreshed
by
thee,
brother.
1:8 Wherefore,
though
I
might
bee
much
bolde
in
Christ
to
enioyne
thee
that
which
is
conuenient;
1:9 Yet
for
loues
sake
I
rather
beseech
thee,
being
such
a
one
as
Paul
the
aged,
and
now
also
a
prisoner
of
Iesus
Christ.
1:10 I
beseech
thee
for
my
sonne
Onesimus,
whome
I
haue
begotten
in
my
bonds,
1:11 Which
in
time
past
was
to
thee
vnprofitable:
but
now
profitable
to
thee
and
to
me:
1:12 Whom
I
haue
sent
againe:
thou
therfore
receiue
him,
that
is
mine
owne
bowels.
1:13 Whome
I
would
haue
reteined
with
mee,
that
in
thy
stead
hee
might
haue
ministred
vnto
me
in
the
bonds
of
the
Gospel.
1:14 But
without
thy
minde
would
I
doe
nothing,
that
thy
benefite
should
not
bee
as
it
were
of
necessitie,
but
willingly.
1:15 For
perhaps
hee
therefore
departed
for
a
season,
that
thou
shouldest
receiue
him
for
euer:
1:16 Not
now
as
a
seruant,
but
aboue
a
seruant,
a
brother
beloued,
specially
to
mee,
but
how
much
more
vnto
thee,
both
in
the
flesh,
and
in
the
Lord
1:17 If
thou
count
mee
therefore
a
partner,
receiue
him
as
my
selfe.
1:18 If
hee
hath
wronged
thee,
or
oweth
thee
ought,
put
that
on
mine
account.
1:19 I
Paul
haue
written
it
with
mine
own
hand,
I
will
repay
it:
albeit
I
doe
not
say
to
thee
how
thou
owest
vnto
me,
euen
thine
owne
selfe
besides:
1:20 Yea,
brother,
let
mee
haue
ioy
of
thee
in
the
Lord:
refresh
my
bowles
in
the
Lord.
1:21 Hauing
confidence
in
thy
obedience,
I
wrote
vnto
thee,
knowing
that
thou
wilt
also
doe
more
then
I
say.
1:22 But
withall
prepare
mee
also
a
lodging:
for
I
trust
that
through
your
prayers
I
shall
be
giuen
vnto
you.
1:23 There
salute
thee
Epaphras,
my
fellow
prisoner
in
Christ
Iesus:
1:24 Marcus,
Aristarchus,
Demas,
Lucas,
my
fellow
labourers.
1:25 The
grace
of
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
be
with
your
spirit.
Amen.
Written
from
Rome
to
Philemon,
by
Onesimus
a
seruant.
