English Bible Presentation Sharing - Philemon Book, chapter 1, verse 6 in Litv Version

Philemon 1 : 1 (LITV)

Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy the brother, to Philemon the beloved and our fellow-worker,

Philemon 1 : 2 (LITV)

and to Apphia the beloved, and to Archippus our fellow-soldier, and to the assembly in your house:

Philemon 1 : 3 (LITV)

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

Philemon 1 : 4 (LITV)

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

Philemon 1 : 5 (LITV)

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

Philemon 1 : 6 (LITV)

so that the fellowship of your faith may operate in a full knowledge of every good thing in you for Jesus Christ.

Philemon 1 : 7 (LITV)

For we have much joy and encouragement over your love, in that the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you, brother.

Philemon 1 : 8 (LITV)

Because of this, having much boldness in Christ to enjoin you to do what is becoming,

Philemon 1 : 9 (LITV)

rather because of love I entreat, being such a one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ;

Philemon 1 : 10 (LITV)

I entreat you concerning my child Onesimus, whom I fathered in my bonds,

Philemon 1 : 11 (LITV)

the one once worthless to you, but now useful to you and to me; whom I sent back to you.

Philemon 1 : 12 (LITV)

Even receive him, that is, my heart;

Philemon 1 : 13 (LITV)

whom I resolved to hold with myself, that for you he might minister to me in the bonds of the gospel.

Philemon 1 : 14 (LITV)

But I was willing to do nothing without your consent, that your good might not be by way of necessity, but by way of willingness.

Philemon 1 : 15 (LITV)

For perhaps for this he was separated for an hour, that you might receive him eternally;

Philemon 1 : 16 (LITV)

no longer as a slave, but beyond a slave, a beloved brother, especially to me, and how much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.

Philemon 1 : 17 (LITV)

Then if you have me as a partner, receive him as me.

Philemon 1 : 18 (LITV)

And if he wronged you in anything, or owes, reckon this to me.

Philemon 1 : 19 (LITV)

I, Paul, wrote with my hand; I will repay (that I not say to you that you even owe yourself to me also).

Philemon 1 : 20 (LITV)

Yes, brother, that I may have your help in the Lord, refresh my heart in the Lord.

Philemon 1 : 21 (LITV)

Trusting to your obedience, I wrote to you, knowing that you will do even beyond what I say.

Philemon 1 : 22 (LITV)

But at once prepare lodging for me; for I hope that through your prayers I shall be given to you.

Philemon 1 : 23 (LITV)

Epaphras, my fellow-captive in Christ Jesus, greets you,

Philemon 1 : 24 (LITV)

also my fellow-workers Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke.

Philemon 1 : 25 (LITV)

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