akjv@Philemon:1:1 @ Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon our dearly beloved, and fellow laborer,

akjv@Philemon:1:2 @ And to our beloved Apphia, and Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the church in your house:

akjv@Philemon:1:3 @ Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

akjv@Philemon:1:4 @ I thank my God, making mention of you always in my prayers,

akjv@Philemon:1:5 @ Hearing of your love and faith, which you have toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints;

akjv@Philemon:1:6 @ That the communication of your faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.

akjv@Philemon:1:7 @ For we have great joy and consolation in your love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by you, brother.

akjv@Philemon:1:8 @ Why, though I might be much bold in Christ to enjoin you that which is convenient,

akjv@Philemon:1:9 @ Yet for love' sake I rather beseech you, being such an one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.

akjv@Philemon:1:10 @ I beseech you for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds:

akjv@Philemon:1:11 @ Which in time past was to you unprofitable, but now profitable to you and to me:

akjv@Philemon:1:12 @ Whom I have sent again: you therefore receive him, that is, my own bowels:

akjv@Philemon:1:13 @ Whom I would have retained with me, that in your stead he might have ministered to me in the bonds of the gospel:

akjv@Philemon:1:14 @ But without your mind would I do nothing; that your benefit should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly.

akjv@Philemon:1:15 @ For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that you should receive him for ever;

akjv@Philemon:1:16 @ Not now as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved, specially to me, but how much more to you, both in the flesh, and in the Lord?

akjv@Philemon:1:17 @ If you count me therefore a partner, receive him as myself.

akjv@Philemon:1:18 @ If he has wronged you, or owes you ought, put that on my account;

akjv@Philemon:1:19 @ I Paul have written it with my own hand, I will repay it: albeit I do not say to you how you owe to me even your own self besides.

akjv@Philemon:1:20 @ Yes, brother, let me have joy of you in the Lord: refresh my bowels in the Lord.

akjv@Philemon:1:21 @ Having confidence in your obedience I wrote to you, knowing that you will also do more than I say.

akjv@Philemon:1:22 @ But with prepare me also a lodging: for I trust that through your prayers I shall be given to you.

akjv@Philemon:1:23 @ There salute you Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus;

akjv@Philemon:1:24 @ Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas, my fellow laborers.

akjv@Philemon:1:25 @ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
