 : 01 .  Paul <3972 - Paulos - > ,  a prisoner <1198 - desmios - > of Jesus <2424 - Iesous - > Christ <5547 - Christos - > ,  and Timothy <5095 - Timotheos - >  [ our ]  brother <0080 - adephos - > ,  unto Philemon <5371 - Philemon - > our dearly beloved <0027 - agapetos - > ,  and fellowlabourer <4904 - sunergos - > ,

 : 02  And to  [ our ]  beloved <0027 - agapetos - > Apphia <0682 - Apphia - > ,  and Archippus <0751 - Archippos - > our fellowsoldier <4961 - sustratiotes - > ,  and to the church <1577 - ekklesia - > in thy house <3624 - oikos - > :

 : 03  Grace <5485 - charis - > to you ,  and peace <1515 - eirene - > ,  from God <2316 - theos - > our Father <3962 - pater - > and the Lord <2962 - kurios - > Jesus <2424 - Iesous - > Christ <5547 - Christos - > .

 : 04  I thank <2168 - eucharisteo - > my God <2316 - theos - > ,  making <4160 - poieo - > mention <3417 - mneia - > of thee always <3842 - pantote - > in my prayers <4335 - proseuche - > ,

 : 05  Hearing <0191 - akouo - > of thy love <0026 - agape - > and faith <4102 - pistis - > ,  which <3739 - hos - > thou hast <2192 - echo - > toward <4314 - pros - > the Lord <2962 - kurios - > Jesus <2424 - Iesous - > ,  and toward <1519 - eis - > all <3956 - pas - > saints <0040 - hagios - > ;

 : 06  That the communication <2842 - koinonia - > of thy faith <4102 - pistis - > may become <1096 - ginomai - > effectual <1756 - energes - > by the acknowledging <1922 - epignosis - > of every <3956 - pas - > good <0018 - agathos - > thing which <3588 - ho - > is in you in Christ <5547 - Christos - > Jesus <2424 - Iesous - > .

 : 07  For we have <2192 - echo - > great <4183 - polus - > joy <5485 - charis - > and consolation <3874 - paraklesis - > in thy love <0026 - agape - > ,  because <3754 - hoti - > the bowels <4698 - splagchnon - > of the saints <0040 - hagios - > are refreshed <0373 - anapano - > by thee ,  brother <0080 - adephos - > .

 : 08 .  Wherefore <1352 - dio - > ,  though I might be much <4183 - polus - > bold <3954 - parrhesia - > in Christ <5547 - Christos - > to enjoin <2004 - epitasso - > thee that which is convenient <0433 - aneko - > ,

 : 09  Yet for love s <0026 - agape - > sake I rather <3123 - mallon - > beseech <3870 - parakaleo - >  [ thee ]  ,  being <5607 - on - > such <5108 - toioutos - > an one as Paul <3972 - Paulos - > the aged <4246 - presbutes - > ,  and now <3570 - nuni - > also <2532 - kai - > a prisoner <1198 - desmios - > of Jesus <2424 - Iesous - > Christ <5547 - Christos - > .

 : 10  I beseech <3870 - parakaleo - > thee for my son <5043 - teknon - > Onesimus <3682 - Onesimos - > ,  whom <3739 - hos - > I have begotten <1080 - gennao - > in my bonds <1199 - desmon - > :

 : 11  Which <3588 - ho - > in time <4218 - pote - > past was to thee unprofitable <0890 - achrestos - > ,  but now <3570 - nuni - > profitable <2173 - euchrestos - > to thee and to me :

 : 12  Whom <3739 - hos - > I have sent <0628 - apolouo - > again <0375 - anapempo - > :  thou therefore receive <4355 - proslambano - > him ,  that is ,  mine <1699 - emos - > own bowels <4698 - splagchnon - > :

 : 13  Whom <3739 - hos - > I would have retained <2722 - katecho - > with me ,  that in thy stead <5228 - huper - > he might have ministered <1247 - diakoneo - > unto me in the bonds <1199 - desmon - > of the gospel <2098 - euaggelion - > :

 : 14  But without <5565 - choris - > thy mind <1106 - gnome - > would <2309 - thelo - > I do <4160 - poieo - > nothing <3762 - oudeis - > ;  that thy benefit <0018 - agathos - > should not be as it were of necessity <0318 - anagke - > ,  but willingly <1595 - hekousion - > .

 : 15  For perhaps <5029 - tacha - > he therefore <5124 - touto - > departed <5563 - chorizo - > for a season <5610 - hora - > ,  that thou shouldest receive <0568 - apecho - > him for ever <0166 - aionios - > ;

 : 16  Not now <3765 - ouketi - > as a servant <1401 - doulos - > ,  but above <5228 - huper - > a servant <1401 - doulos - > ,  a brother <0080 - adephos - > beloved <0027 - agapetos - > ,  specially <3122 - malista - > to me ,  but how <4214 - posos - > much <4214 - posos - > more <3123 - mallon - > unto thee ,  both <2532 - kai - > in the flesh <4561 - sarx - > ,  and in the Lord <2962 - kurios - > ?

 : 17  If <1487 - ei - > thou count <2192 - echo - > me therefore <3767 - oun - > a partner <2844 - koinonos - > ,  receive <4355 - proslambano - > him as myself <1691 - eme - > .

 : 18  If <1487 - ei - > he hath wronged <0091 - adikeo - > thee ,  or <2228 - e - > oweth <3784 - opheilo - >  [ thee ]  ought <5100 - tis - > ,  put <1677 - ellogeo - > that on <1677 - ellogeo - > mine <1699 - emos - > account <1677 - ellogeo - > ;

 : 19  I Paul <3972 - Paulos - > have written <1125 - grapho - >  [ it ]  with mine own hand <5495 - cheir - > ,  I will repay <0661 - apotino - >  [ it ]  :  albeit <2443 - hina - > I do not say <3004 - lego - > to thee how <3754 - hoti - > thou owest <4359 - prosopheilo - > unto me even <2532 - kai - > thine <4572 - seautou - > own <4572 - seautou - > self <4572 - seautou - > besides <4359 - prosopheilo - > .

 : 20  Yea <3483 - nai - > ,  brother <0080 - adephos - > ,  let me have joy <3685 - oninemi - > of thee in the Lord <2962 - kurios - > :  refresh <0373 - anapano - > my bowels <4698 - splagchnon - > in the Lord <2962 - kurios - > .

 : 21  Having confidence <3982 - peitho - > in thy obedience <5218 - hupakoe - > I wrote <1125 - grapho - > unto thee ,  knowing <1492 - eido - > that thou wilt also <2532 - kai - > do <4160 - poieo - > more <5228 - huper - > than <5228 - huper - > I say <3004 - lego - > .

 : 22  But withal <0260 - hama - > prepare <2090 - hetoimazo - > me also <2532 - kai - > a lodging <3578 - xenia - > :  for I trust <1679 - elpizo - > that through <1223 - dia - > your <5216 - humon - > prayers <4335 - proseuche - > I shall be given <5483 - charizomai - > unto you .

 : 23  There salute <0782 - aspazomai - > thee Epaphras <1889 - Epaphras - > ,  my fellowprisoner <4869 - sunaichmalotos - > in Christ <5547 - Christos - > Jesus <2424 - Iesous - > ;
