rsv@ Philemon:1:1 @ Paul, a prisoner for Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, To Phile'mon our beloved fellow worker
rsv@ Philemon:1:2 @ and Ap'phia our sister and Archip'pus our fellow soldier, and the church in your house:
rsv@ Philemon:1:3 @ Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
rsv@ Philemon:1:4 @ I thank my God always when I remember you in my prayers,
rsv@ Philemon:1:5 @ because I hear of your love and of the faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus and all the saints,
rsv@ Philemon:1:6 @ and I pray that the sharing of your faith may promote the knowledge of all the good that is ours in Christ.
rsv@ Philemon:1:7 @ For I have derived much joy and comfort from your love, my brother, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you.
rsv@ Philemon:1:8 @ Accordingly, though I am bold enough in Christ to command you to do what is required,
rsv@ Philemon:1:9 @ yet for love's sake I prefer to appeal to you--I, Paul, an ambassador and now a prisoner also for Christ Jesus--
rsv@ Philemon:1:10 @ I appeal to you for my child, Ones'imus, whose father I have become in my imprisonment.
rsv@ Philemon:1:11 @ (Formerly he was useless to you, but now he is indeed useful to you and to me.)
rsv@ Philemon:1:12 @ I am sending him back to you, sending my very heart.
rsv@ Philemon:1:13 @ I would have been glad to keep him with me, in order that he might serve me on your behalf during my imprisonment for the gospel;
rsv@ Philemon:1:14 @ but I preferred to do nothing without your consent in order that your goodness might not be by compulsion but of your own free will.
rsv@ Philemon:1:15 @ Perhaps this is why he was parted from you for a while, that you might have him back for ever,
rsv@ Philemon:1:16 @ no longer as a slave but more than a slave, as a beloved brother, especially to me but how much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.
rsv@ Philemon:1:17 @ So if you consider me your partner, receive him as you would receive me.
rsv@ Philemon:1:18 @ If he has wronged you at all, or owes you anything, charge that to my account.
rsv@ Philemon:1:19 @ I, Paul, write this with my own hand, I will repay it--to say nothing of your owing me even your own self.
rsv@ Philemon:1:20 @ Yes, brother, I want some benefit from you in the Lord. Refresh my heart in Christ.
rsv@ Philemon:1:21 @ Confident of your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even more than I say.
rsv@ Philemon:1:22 @ At the same time, prepare a guest room for me, for I am hoping through your prayers to be granted to you.
rsv@ Philemon:1:23 @ Ep'aphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, sends greetings to you,
rsv@ Philemon:1:24 @ and so do Mark, Aristar'chus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers.
rsv@ Philemon:1:25 @ The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
