Sha'ul's Letter to Philemon, Chapter 1
{1:1} Sha'ul, a prisoner of Messiah Yeshua, and Timothy our brother,
to Philemon, our beloved fellow worker, {1:2} to the beloved Apphia,
to Archippus, our fellow soldier, and to the assembly in your house:
{1:3} Grace to you and shalom from God our Father and the Lord Yeshua
the Messiah.
{1:4} I thank my God always, making mention of you in my prayers,
{1:5} hearing of your love, and of the faith which you have toward the
Lord Yeshua, and toward all the holy ones; {1:6} that the fellowship
of your faith may become effective, in the knowledge of every good
thing which is in us in Messiah Yeshua. {1:7} For we have much joy and
comfort in your love, because the hearts of the holy ones have been
refreshed through you, brother.
{1:8} Therefore, though I have all boldness in Messiah to command
you that which is appropriate, {1:9} yet for love's sake I rather beg,
being such a one as Sha'ul, the aged, but also a prisoner of Yeshua
the Messiah. {1:10} I beg you for my child, whom I have become the
father of in my chains, Onesimus, {1:11} who once was useless to you,
but now is useful to you and to me. {1:12} I am sending him back.
Therefore receive him, that is, my own heart, {1:13} whom I desired to
keep with me, that on your behalf he might serve me in my chains for
the Good News. {1:14} But I was willing to do nothing without your
consent, that your goodness would not be as of necessity, but of free
will. {1:15} For perhaps he was therefore separated from you for a
while, that you would have him forever, {1:16} no longer as a slave,
but more than a slave, a beloved brother, especially to me, but how
much rather to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.
{1:17} If then you count me a partner, receive him as you would
receive me. {1:18} But if he has wronged you at all, or owes you
anything, put that to my account. {1:19} I, Sha'ul, write this with my
own hand: I will repay it (not to mention to you that you owe to me
even your own self besides). {1:20} Yes, brother, let me have joy from
you in the Lord. Refresh my heart in the Lord. {1:21} Having
confidence in your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do
even beyond what I say.
{1:22} Also, prepare a guest room for me, for I hope that through
your prayers I will be restored to you.
{1:23} Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Messiah Yeshua, greets you,
{1:24} as do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers.
{1:25} The grace of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah be with your spirit.
Amein.
