57~PHILEMON 001|001` Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon our dearly beloved, and fellowlabourer, 

57~PHILEMON 001|002` And to our beloved Apphia, and Archippus our fellowsoldier, and to the church in thy house: 

57~PHILEMON 001|003` Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 

57~PHILEMON 001|004` I thank my God, making mention of you always in my prayers, 

57~PHILEMON 001|005` Hearing of thy love and faith, which you hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; 

57~PHILEMON 001|006` That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus. 

57~PHILEMON 001|007` For we have great joy and consolation in thy love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by you, brother. 

57~PHILEMON 001|008` Wherefore, though I might be much bold in Christ to enjoin you that which is convenient, 

57~PHILEMON 001|009` Yet for love's sake I rather beseech you, being such an one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ. 

57~PHILEMON 001|010` I beseech you for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds: 

57~PHILEMON 001|011` Which in time past was to you unprofitable, but now profitable to you and to me: 

57~PHILEMON 001|012` Whom I have sent again: you therefore receive him, that is, mine own bowels: 

57~PHILEMON 001|013` Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered to me in the bonds of the gospel: 

57~PHILEMON 001|014` But without thy mind would I do nothing; that thy benefit should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly. 

57~PHILEMON 001|015` For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that you shouldest receive him for ever; 

57~PHILEMON 001|016` 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? 

57~PHILEMON 001|017` If you count me therefore a partner, receive him as myself. 

57~PHILEMON 001|018` If he hath wronged you, or oweth you ought, put that on mine account; 

57~PHILEMON 001|019` I Paul have written it with mine own hand, I will repay it: albeit I do not say to you how you owest to me even yours own self besides. 

57~PHILEMON 001|020` You, brother, let me have joy of you in the Lord: refresh my bowels in the Lord. 

57~PHILEMON 001|021` Having confidence in thy obedience I wrote to you, knowing that you wilt also do more than I say. 

57~PHILEMON 001|022` But withal prepare me also a lodging: for I trust that through your prayers I shall be given to you. 

57~PHILEMON 001|023` There salute you Epaphras, my fellowprisoner in Christ Jesus; 

57~PHILEMON 001|024` Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas, my fellowlabourers. 

57~PHILEMON 001|025` The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
