1:1 |
Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy our brother, unto Philemon our dearly beloved, and fellowlabourer, |
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: |
mon: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: |
1co:4:14 | I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you. |
1co:4:15 | For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel. |
gal:4:19 | My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you, |
col:4:9 | With Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They shall make known unto you all things which are done here. |
1:10 | (tw) 就是為我在捆鎖中所生的兒子阿尼西母〔此名就是有益處的意思〕求你. |
1:10 | (cn) 就是为我在捆锁中所生的儿子阿尼西母(此名就是有益处的意思)求你。 |
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. |
