Philemon 1 (TRV)

From Textus Receptus

Revision as of 02:48, 1 August 2012

• 1 Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon our beloved friend, and fellow worker,

• 1 and to our beloved Apphia, Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the church in your house.

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

• 1 I thank my God, making mention of you always in my prayers,

• 1 hearing of your love and faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints,

• 1 that the sharing of your faith may become operative by acknowledging every good thing that is in you in Christ Jesus.

• 1 Because we have great joy and consolation in your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed by you, brother.

• 1 Therefore, although I might be very bold in Christ to command you that which is appropriate,

• 1 yet for love’s sake I rather make request of you, being such a one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ:

• 1 I make request of you for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten while in my chains,

• 12 who was formerly unprofitable to you, but is now profitable to you and to me.

• 1 Whom I have sent again. So you receive him, that is, my own heart,

• 1 whom I desired to keep with me, that instead of you, he might have ministered to me in the chains of the gospel.

• 1 But I did not want to do anything without your consent, that your goodness might not be of obligation, but voluntary.

• 1 For perhaps he departed for a while for this purpose, that you might receive him forever,

• 1 no longer as a servant, but more than a servant- a beloved brother, especially to me but how much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.

• 1 If then you count me as a partner, receive him as you would me.

• 1 If he has wronged you, or owes you anything, put that on my account.

• 19 I Paul have written this with my own hand, I will repay it- not to mention to you how you also owe to me even your own being.

• 1 Yes, brother, let me have joy from you in the Lord; refresh my heart in the Lord.

• 21 Having confidence in your obedience, I wrote to you, knowing that you will also do even more than I say.

• 1 But meanwhile prepare me a guest room also, because I trust that through your prayers I shall be given to you.

• 1 Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, greets you,

• 1 also Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas, my fellow workers.

• 1 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen. Written from Rome to Philemon, by Onesimus a servant.
