Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy [our] brother, unto Philemon our dearly beloved, and fellowlabourer, God Jesus Christ Paul Philemon Timotheus
Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. God Jesus Christ YHVH
I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers, God
Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; God Jesus Christ
That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus. God Jesus Christ
For we have great joy and consolation in thy love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother.
Wherefore, though I might be much bold in Christ to enjoin thee that which is convenient, God Jesus Christ
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. God Jesus Christ Paul
I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds: Onesimus
Which in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now profitable to thee and to me:
Whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive him, that is, mine own bowels:
Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered unto me in the bonds of the gospel:
But without thy mind would I do nothing; that thy benefit should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly.
For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receive him for ever;
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? God Jesus Christ
If thou count me therefore a partner, receive him as myself.
If he hath wronged thee, or oweth [thee] ought, put that on mine account;
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. Paul
Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord: refresh my bowels in the Lord. God Jesus Christ
Having confidence in thy obedience I wrote unto thee, knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say.
But withal prepare me also a lodging: for I trust that through your prayers I shall be given unto you.
There salute thee Epaphras, my fellowprisoner in Christ Jesus; God Jesus Christ Epaphras
Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas, my fellowlabourers. Aristarchus Demas John Mark Luke
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with your spirit. Amen. God Jesus Christ Philemon Onesimus Rome
