1:1
Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy our brother, unto Philemon our dearly beloved, and fellowlabourer,
eph:3:1 For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,
eph:4:1 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,
2ti:1:8 Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God;
mon:1:9 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.
1ts:3:2 And sent Timotheus, our brother, and minister of God, and our fellowlabourer in the gospel of Christ, to establish you, and to comfort you concerning your faith:
phl:2:25 Yet I supposed it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, and companion in labour, and fellowsoldier, but your messenger, and he that ministered to my wants.
1:1 (tw) 為基督耶穌被囚的保羅、同兄弟提摩太、寫信給我們所親愛的同工腓利門、
1:1 (cn) 为基督耶稣被囚的保罗,同兄弟提摩太,写信给我们所亲爱的同工腓利门,
1:2
And to our beloved Apphia, and Archippus our fellowsoldier, and to the church in thy house:
1:3
Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
1:4
I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers,
1:5
Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints;
1:6
That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.
1:7
For we have great joy and consolation in thy love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother.
1:8
Wherefore, though I might be much bold in Christ to enjoin thee that which is convenient,
1:9
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.
1:10
I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds:
1:11
Which in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now profitable to thee and to me:
1:12
Whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive him, that is, mine own bowels:
1:13
Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered unto me in the bonds of the gospel:
1:14
But without thy mind would I do nothing; that thy benefit should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly.
1:15
For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receive him for ever;
1:16
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?
1:17
If thou count me therefore a partner, receive him as myself.
1:18
If he hath wronged thee, or oweth thee ought, put that on mine account;
1:19
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.
1:20
Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord: refresh my bowels in the Lord.
1:21
Having confidence in thy obedience I wrote unto thee, knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say.
1:22
But withal prepare me also a lodging: for I trust that through your prayers I shall be given unto you.
1:23
There salute thee Epaphras, my fellowprisoner in Christ Jesus;
1:24
Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas, my fellowlabourers.
1:25
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
