English Bible Presentation Sharing - Philemon Book, chapter 1, verse 21 in Akjv Version

Philemon 1 : 1 (AKJV)

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

Philemon 1 : 2 (AKJV)

And to our beloved Apphia, and Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the church in your house:

Philemon 1 : 3 (AKJV)

Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Philemon 1 : 4 (AKJV)

I thank my God, making mention of you always in my prayers,

Philemon 1 : 5 (AKJV)

Hearing of your love and faith, which you have toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints;

Philemon 1 : 6 (AKJV)

That the communication of your faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.

Philemon 1 : 7 (AKJV)

For we have great joy and consolation in your love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by you, brother.

Philemon 1 : 8 (AKJV)

Why, though I might be much bold in Christ to enjoin you that which is convenient,

Philemon 1 : 9 (AKJV)

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.

Philemon 1 : 10 (AKJV)

I beseech you for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds:

Philemon 1 : 11 (AKJV)

Which in time past was to you unprofitable, but now profitable to you and to me:

Philemon 1 : 12 (AKJV)

Whom I have sent again: you therefore receive him, that is, my own bowels:

Philemon 1 : 13 (AKJV)

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

Philemon 1 : 14 (AKJV)

But without your mind would I do nothing; that your benefit should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly.

Philemon 1 : 15 (AKJV)

For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that you should receive him for ever;

Philemon 1 : 16 (AKJV)

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?

Philemon 1 : 17 (AKJV)

If you count me therefore a partner, receive him as myself.

Philemon 1 : 18 (AKJV)

If he has wronged you, or owes you ought, put that on my account;

Philemon 1 : 19 (AKJV)

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.

Philemon 1 : 20 (AKJV)

Yes, brother, let me have joy of you in the Lord: refresh my bowels in the Lord.

Philemon 1 : 21 (AKJV)

Having confidence in your obedience I wrote to you, knowing that you will also do more than I say.

Philemon 1 : 22 (AKJV)

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

Philemon 1 : 23 (AKJV)

There salute you Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus;

Philemon 1 : 24 (AKJV)

Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas, my fellow laborers.

Philemon 1 : 25 (AKJV)

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
