Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy [our] brother, unto Philemon our dearly beloved, and fellowlabourer, |
|
| 2 |
καὶ Ἀπφίᾳ τῇ ἀδελφῇ καὶ Ἀρχίππῳ τῷ συστρατιώτῃ ἡμῶν καὶ τῇ κατ’ οἶκόν σου ἐκκλησίᾳ |
to Apphia our sister, to Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the church that meets at your house: |
And to [our] beloved Apphia, and Archippus our fellowsoldier, and to the church in thy house: |

Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. |

Εὐχαριστῶ τῷ Θεῷ μου πάντοτε μνείαν σου ποιούμενος ἐπὶ τῶν προσευχῶν μου |
I always thank my God, remembering you in my prayers, |
I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers, |
|
| 5 |
ἀκούων σου τὴν ἀγάπην καὶ τὴν πίστιν ἣν ἔχεις πρὸς τὸν Κύριον Ἰησοῦν καὶ εἰς πάντας τοὺς ἁγίους |
because I hear about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints. |
Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; |
|
| 6 |
ὅπως ἡ κοινωνία τῆς πίστεώς σου ἐνεργὴς γένηται ἐν ἐπιγνώσει παντὸς ἀγαθοῦ τοῦ ἐν ἡμῖν εἰς Χριστόν |
I pray that your partnership in the faith may become effective as you fully acknowledge every good thing that is ours in Christ. |
That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus. |
|
| 7 |
χαρὰν γὰρ πολλὴν ἔσχον καὶ παράκλησιν ἐπὶ τῇ ἀγάπῃ σου ὅτι τὰ σπλάγχνα τῶν ἁγίων ἀναπέπαυται διὰ σοῦ ἀδελφέ |
I take great joy and encouragement in your love, because you, brother, have refreshed the hearts of the saints. |
For we have great joy and consolation in thy love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother. |
|
| 8 |
Διό πολλὴν ἐν Χριστῷ παρρησίαν ἔχων ἐπιτάσσειν σοι τὸ ἀνῆκον |
So although in Christ I am bold enough to order you to do what is proper, |
Wherefore, though I might be much bold in Christ to enjoin thee that which is convenient, |
|
| 9 |
διὰ τὴν ἀγάπην μᾶλλον παρακαλῶ τοιοῦτος ὢν ὡς Παῦλος πρεσβύτης νυνὶ δὲ καὶ δέσμιος Χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ |
I prefer to appeal on the basis of love. For I, Paul, am now aged, and a prisoner of Christ Jesus as well. |
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. |
|
| 10 |
Παρακαλῶ σε περὶ τοῦ ἐμοῦ τέκνου ὃν ἐγέννησα ἐν τοῖς δεσμοῖς Ὀνήσιμον |
I appeal to you for my child Onesimus, whose father I became while I was in chains. |
I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds: |
|
| 11 |
τόν ποτέ σοι ἄχρηστον νυνὶ δὲ καὶ σοὶ καὶ ἐμοὶ εὔχρηστον |
Formerly he was useless to you, but now he has become useful both to you and to me. |
Which in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now profitable to thee and to me: |
|
| 12 |
ὃν ἀνέπεμψά σοι αὐτόν τοῦτ’ ἔστιν τὰ ἐμὰ σπλάγχνα |
I am sending back to you him who is my very heart. |
Whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive him, that is, mine own bowels: |
|
| 13 |
ὃν ἐγὼ ἐβουλόμην πρὸς ἐμαυτὸν κατέχειν ἵνα ὑπὲρ σοῦ μοι διακονῇ ἐν τοῖς δεσμοῖς τοῦ εὐαγγελίου |
I would have liked to keep him with me, so that on your behalf he could minister to me in my chains for the gospel. |
Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered unto me in the bonds of the gospel: |
|
| 14 |
Χωρὶς δὲ τῆς σῆς γνώμης οὐδὲν ἠθέλησα ποιῆσαι ἵνα μὴ ὡς κατὰ ἀνάγκην τὸ ἀγαθόν σου ᾖ ἀλλὰ κατὰ ἑκούσιον |
But I did not want to do anything without your consent, so that your goodness will not be out of compulsion, but by your own free will. |
But without thy mind would I do nothing; that thy benefit should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly. |
|
| 15 |
τάχα γὰρ διὰ τοῦτο ἐχωρίσθη πρὸς ὥραν ἵνα αἰώνιον αὐτὸν ἀπέχῃς |
For perhaps this is why he was separated from you for a while, so that you might have him back for good— |
For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receive him for ever; |
|
| 16 |
οὐκέτι ὡς δοῦλον ἀλλὰ ὑπὲρ δοῦλον ἀδελφὸν ἀγαπητόν μάλιστα ἐμοί πόσῳ δὲ μᾶλλον σοὶ καὶ ἐν σαρκὶ καὶ ἐν Κυρίῳ |
no longer as a slave, but better than a slave, as a beloved brother. He is especially beloved to me, but even more so to you, both in person and in the Lord. |
Not now as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved, specially to me, but how much more unto thee, both in the flesh, and in the Lord? |
|
| 17 |
Εἰ οὖν με ἔχεις κοινωνόν προσλαβοῦ αὐτὸν ὡς ἐμέ |
So if you consider me a partner, receive him as you would receive me. |
If thou count me therefore a partner, receive him as myself. |
|
| 18 |
εἰ δέ τι ἠδίκησέν σε ἢ ὀφείλει τοῦτο ἐμοὶ ἐλλόγα |
But if he has wronged you in any way or owes you anything, charge it to my account. |
If he hath wronged thee, or oweth [thee] ought, put that on mine account; |
|
| 19 |
ἐγὼ Παῦλος ἔγραψα τῇ ἐμῇ χειρί ἐγὼ ἀποτίσω ἵνα μὴ λέγω σοι ὅτι καὶ σεαυτόν μοι προσοφείλεις |
I, Paul, write this with my own hand. I will repay it— not to mention that you owe me your very self. |
I Paul have written [it] with mine own hand, I will repay [it]: albeit I do not say to thee how thou owest unto me even thine own self besides. |
|
| 20 |
Ναί ἀδελφέ ἐγώ σου ὀναίμην ἐν Κυρίῳ ἀνάπαυσόν μου τὰ σπλάγχνα ἐν Χριστῷ |
Yes, brother, let me have some benefit from you in the Lord. Refresh my heart in Christ. |
Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord: refresh my bowels in the Lord. |
|
| 21 |
Πεποιθὼς τῇ ὑπακοῇ σου ἔγραψά σοι εἰδὼς ὅτι καὶ ὑπὲρ ἃ λέγω ποιήσεις |
Confident of your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even more than I ask. |
Having confidence in thy obedience I wrote unto thee, knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say. |
|
| 22 |
Ἅμα δὲ καὶ ἑτοίμαζέ μοι ξενίαν ἐλπίζω γὰρ ὅτι διὰ τῶν προσευχῶν ὑμῶν χαρισθήσομαι ὑμῖν |
In the meantime, prepare a guest room for me, because I hope that through your prayers I will be restored to you. |
But withal prepare me also a lodging: for I trust that through your prayers I shall be given unto you. |
|
| 23 |
Ἀσπάζεταί σε Ἐπαφρᾶς ὁ συναιχμάλωτός μου ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ |
Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, sends you greetings, |
There salute thee Epaphras, my fellowprisoner in Christ Jesus; |
|
| 24 |
Μᾶρκος Ἀρίσταρχος Δημᾶς Λουκᾶς οἱ συνεργοί μου |
as do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers. |
Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas, my fellowlabourers. |
|
| 25 |
Ἡ χάρις τοῦ Κυρίου Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ μετὰ τοῦ πνεύματος ὑμῶν ⧼Ἀμήν⧽ |
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. |
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with your spirit. Amen. {{[Written from Rome to Philemon, by Onesimus a servant. ]}} |
