Philemon 1 : 1 (KJV)

Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy our brother, unto Philemon our dearly beloved, and fellowlabourer,

Philemon 1 : 2 (KJV)

And to our beloved Apphia, and Archippus our fellowsoldier, and to the church in thy house:

Philemon 1 : 3 (KJV)

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

Philemon 1 : 4 (KJV)

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

Philemon 1 : 5 (KJV)

Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints;

Philemon 1 : 6 (KJV)

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

Philemon 1 : 7 (KJV)

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

Philemon 1 : 8 (KJV)

Wherefore, though I might be much bold in Christ to enjoin thee that which is convenient,

Philemon 1 : 9 (KJV)

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.

Philemon 1 : 10 (KJV)

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

Philemon 1 : 11 (KJV)

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

Philemon 1 : 12 (KJV)

Whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive him, that is, mine own bowels:

Philemon 1 : 13 (KJV)

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

Philemon 1 : 14 (KJV)

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

Philemon 1 : 15 (KJV)

For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receive him for ever;

Philemon 1 : 16 (KJV)

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?

Philemon 1 : 17 (KJV)

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

Philemon 1 : 18 (KJV)

If he hath wronged thee, or oweth thee ought, put that on mine account;

Philemon 1 : 19 (KJV)

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.

Philemon 1 : 20 (KJV)

Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord: refresh my bowels in the Lord.

Philemon 1 : 21 (KJV)

Having confidence in thy obedience I wrote unto thee, knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say.

Philemon 1 : 22 (KJV)

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

Philemon 1 : 23 (KJV)

There salute thee Epaphras, my fellowprisoner in Christ Jesus;

Philemon 1 : 24 (KJV)

Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas, my fellowlabourers.

Philemon 1 : 25 (KJV)

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