            Philemon Darby Translation (DARBY)

Chapter1

     1 Paul, prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timotheus the brother, to Philemon the beloved and our

     fellow-workman,

     2 and to the sister Apphia and to Archippus our fellow-soldier, and to the assembly which [is] in thine

     house.

     3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and [the] Lord Jesus Christ.

     4 I thank my God, always making mention of thee at my prayers,

     5 hearing of thy love and the faith which thou hast towards the Lord Jesus, and towards all the saints,

     6 in such sort that thy participation in the faith should become operative in the acknowledgment of every

     good thing which is in us towards Christ [Jesus].

     7 For we have great thankfulness and encouragement through thy love, because the bowels of the saints

     are refreshed by thee, brother.

     8 Wherefore having much boldness in Christ to enjoin thee what is fitting,

     9 for love's sake I rather exhort, being such a one as Paul the aged, and now also prisoner of Jesus Christ.

     10 I exhort thee for *my* child, whom I have begotten in [my] bonds, Onesimus,

     11 once unserviceable to thee, but now serviceable to thee and to me:

     12 whom I have sent back to thee: [but do *thou* receive] him, that is, *my* bowels:

     13 whom *I* was desirous of keeping with myself, that for thee he might minister to me in the bonds of the

     glad tidings;

     14 but I have wished to do nothing without thy mind, that thy good might not be as of necessity but of

     willingness:

     15 for perhaps for this reason he has been separated [from thee] for a time, that thou mightest possess him

     fully for ever;

     16 not any longer as a bondman, but above a bondman, a beloved brother, specially to me, and how much

     rather to thee, both in [the] flesh and in [the] Lord?

     17 If therefore thou holdest me to be a partner [with thee], receive him as me;

     18 but if he have wronged thee anything or owe anything [to thee], put this to my account.

     19 *I* Paul have written [it] with mine own hand; *I* will repay [it]: that I say not to thee that thou

     owest even thine own self also to me.

     20 Yea, brother, *I* would have profit of *thee* in [the] Lord: refresh my bowels in Christ.

     21 Being confident of thine obedience, I have written to thee, knowing that thou wilt do even more than I

     say.

     22 But withal prepare me also a lodging; for I hope that I shall be granted to you through your prayers.

     23 Epaphras salutes thee, my fellow-prisoner in Christ Jesus;

     24 Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, Luke, my fellow-workmen.

     25 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with your spirit.
