    1 Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy, a brother: to Philemon, our beloved and fellow labourer;

    2 And to Appia, our dearest sister, and to Archippus, our fellow soldier, and to the church which is in thy house:

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

    4 I give thanks to my God, always making a remembrance of thee in my prayers.

    5 Hearing of thy charity and faith, which thou hast in the Lord Jesus, and towards all the saints:

    6 That the communication of thy faith may be made evident in the acknowledgment of every good work, that is in you in Christ Jesus.

    7 For I have had great joy and consolation in thy charity, because the bowels of the saints have been refreshed by thee, brother.

    8 Wherefore though I have much confidence in Christ Jesus, to command thee that which is to the purpose:

    9 For charity sake I rather beseech, whereas thou art such a one, as Paul an old man, and now a prisoner also of Jesus Christ.

    10 I beseech thee for my son, whom I have begotten in my bands, Onesimus,

    11 Who hath been heretofore unprofitable to thee, but now is profitable both to me and thee,

    12 Whom I have sent back to thee. And do thou receive him as my own bowels.

    13 Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered to me in the bands of the gospel:

    14 But without thy counsel I would do nothing: that thy good deed might not be as it were of necessity, but voluntary.

    15 For perhaps he therefore departed for a season from thee, that thou mightest receive him again for ever:

    16 Not now as a servant, but instead of a servant, a most dear brother, especially to me: but how much more to thee both in the flesh and in the Lord?

    17 If therefore thou count me a partner, receive him as myself.

    18 And if he hath wronged thee in any thing, or is in thy debt, put that to my account.

    19 I Paul have written it with my own hand: I will repay it: not to say to thee, that thou owest me thy own self also.

    20 Yea, brother. May I enjoy thee in the Lord. Refresh my bowels in the Lord.

    21 Trusting in thy obedience, I have written to thee: knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say.

    22 But withal prepare me also a lodging. For I hope that through your prayers I shall be given unto you.

    23 There salute thee Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus;

    24 Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke my fellow labourers.

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