1 Paul, a prisoner 1198 of Christ 5547 Jesus, and 2532 Timothy the 3588 brother, 80 to Philemon the 3588 beloved, 27 and 2532 our 1473 fellow-worker, 4904

2 and 2532 to Apphia the 3588 beloved, 27 and 2532 Archippus 3588 our 1473 fellow-soldier, 4961 and 2532 to the 3588 [²at 2596 ³your 1473 house 3624 ¹assembly]. 1577

3 Favor 5484 to you, 1473 and 2532 peace 1515 from 575 God 2316 our 1473 father 3962 and 2532 of the Lord 2962 Jesus Christ. 5547

4 I give thanks 2168 to 3588 my 1473 God, 2316 at all times 3842 [²mention 3417 ³of you 1473 ¹making] 4160 at 1909 3588 my 1473 prayers, 4335

5 hearing 191 [³of yours 1473 ¹the 3588 ²love], 26 and 2532 the 3588 belief 4102 which 3739 you have 2192 towards 4314 the 3588 Lord 2962 Jesus, and 2532 to 1519 all 3956 the 3588 holy ones, 39

6 that 3704 the 3588 fellowship 2842 of the 3588 belief 4102 of yours 1473 [²active 1756 ¹should become] 1096 in 1722 full knowledge 1922 of every 3956 [²work 2041 ¹good], 18 of the one 3588 in 1722 you 1473 in 1519 Christ 5547 Jesus.

7 [⁴gratitude 5484 ¹For 1063 ²we have 2192 ³much] 4183 and 2532 comfort 3874 over 1909 3588 your 1473 love, 26 because 3754 the 3588 feelings of compassion 4698 of the 3588 holy ones 39 have been rested 373 through 1223 you, 1473 O brother. 80

8 Therefore, 1352 [²a great 4183 ⁴in 1722 ⁵Christ 5547 ³openness 3954 ¹having], 2192 to give orders 2004 to you, 1473 the thing 3588 related, 433

9 [³through 1223 ⁴the 3588 ⁵love 26 ²rather 3123 ¹I appeal], 3870 being such a one as 5613 Paul an old man, 4246 and 1161 now 3568 also 2532 a prisoner 1198 of Jesus Christ. 5547

10 I appeal to 3870 you 1473 concerning 4012 3588 my 1699 child, 5043 whom 3739 I engendered 1080 in 1722 3588 my 1473 bonds, 1199 Onesimus,

11 the one 3588 at some time or other 4218 useless to you, but 1161 now 3568 [²to you 1473 ³and 2532 ⁴to me 1473 ¹useful], 2173 whom 3739 I sent back to you . 375

12 But 1161 you 1473 ( [²for him 1473 ¹that is] ) 5123 [²the things 3588 ³concerning my 1699 ⁴feelings of compassion 4698 ¹receive]! 4355

13 whom 3739 I 1473 wanted 1014 [²for 4314 ³myself 1683 ¹to keep], 2722 that 2443 for 5228 you 1473 he should be serving 1247 to me 1473 in 1722 the 3588 bonds 1199 of the 3588 good news. 2098

14 But without the help 5565 3588 of your 4674 opinion 1106 [³nothing 3762 ¹I wanted 2309 ²to do]; 4160 that 2443 [⁴not 3361 ⁶as 5613 ⁷according to 2596 ⁸necessity 318 3588 ²good 18 ¹your 1473 ³should ⁵be], but 235 as 2596 voluntary. 1595

15 For 1063 perhaps 5029 on account of this he was separated 5563 for 4314 an hour, 5610 that 2443 eternally 166 you should receive him;

16 no longer 3765 as 5613 a bondman, 1401 but 235 above 5228 a bondman, 1401 [²brother 80 ¹a beloved], 27 especially 3122 to me, 1473 and how much more 3123 to you, 1473 both 2532 in 1722 flesh 4561 and 2532 in 1722 the Lord. 2962

17 If 1487 then 3767 you have me for a partner, 2844 receive 1473 him 4355 as 5613 me! 1473

18 And 1161 if 1487 in anything 5100 he wronged 91 you 1473 or 2228 owes, 3784 [²this 3778 ³to me 1473 ¹charge]! 1677

19 I, 1473 Paul, write 1125 in 3588 my 1699 hand. 5495 I 1473 will pay -- 661 for 2443 I should not say to you 1473 that 3754 even 2532 yourself 4572 owes me besides.

20 Yes, 3483 O brother, 80 [²I 1473 ⁴you 1473 ¹may ³oblige] 3685 in 1722 the Lord; 2962 rest 373 my 1473 3588 feelings of compassion 4698 in 1722 the Lord! 2962

21 Relying upon 3982 3588 your 1473 obedience, 5218 I wrote 1125 to you, 1473 knowing 1492 that 3754 even 2532 above 5228 what 3739 I say 3004 you will do. 4160

22 But at the same time also 2532 prepare 2090 for me 1473 a guest room! 3578 For I hope that 3754 through 1223 3588 your 1473 prayers 4335 I shall be granted 5483 to you. 1473

23 They greet 782 you -- 1473 Epaphras, 3588 my 1473 fellow-captive 4869 in 1722 Christ 5547 Jesus;

24 Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, Luke, 3588 my fellow workers.

25 The 3588 favor 5484 3588 of our Lord Jesus Christ 5547 be with 3326 3588 your 1473 spirit. 4151 Amen. 281
