English Bible Presentation Sharing - Philemon Book, chapter 1, verse 4 in Mkjv Version

Philemon 1 : 1 (MKJV)

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

Philemon 1 : 2 (MKJV)

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

Philemon 1 : 3 (MKJV)

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

Philemon 1 : 4 (MKJV)

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

Philemon 1 : 5 (MKJV)

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

Philemon 1 : 6 (MKJV)

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

Philemon 1 : 7 (MKJV)

For we have great joy and consolation over your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed by you, brother.

Philemon 1 : 8 (MKJV)

Therefore, having much boldness in Christ to enjoin you to do the fitting thing;

Philemon 1 : 9 (MKJV)

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

Philemon 1 : 10 (MKJV)

I entreat you for my child Onesimus, whom I have fathered in my bonds,

Philemon 1 : 11 (MKJV)

he who was once worthless to you, but now useful to you and to me; whom I sent back to you.

Philemon 1 : 12 (MKJV)

Even receive him, that is, my own heart,

Philemon 1 : 13 (MKJV)

whom I resolved to retain with myself, so that for you he might have ministered to me in the bonds of the gospel.

Philemon 1 : 14 (MKJV)

But without your consent I was willing to do nothing, that your good should not be of necessity, but willingly.

Philemon 1 : 15 (MKJV)

For perhaps because of this he was separated from you for an hour, that you should receive him eternally,

Philemon 1 : 16 (MKJV)

not now as a slave, but beyond a slave, a beloved brother, especially to me, but how much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.

Philemon 1 : 17 (MKJV)

If then you have me as a partner, receive him as me.

Philemon 1 : 18 (MKJV)

If he has wronged you or owes you in anything, put that on my account.

Philemon 1 : 19 (MKJV)

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

Philemon 1 : 20 (MKJV)

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

Philemon 1 : 21 (MKJV)

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

Philemon 1 : 22 (MKJV)

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

Philemon 1 : 23 (MKJV)

Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, greets you,

Philemon 1 : 24 (MKJV)

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

Philemon 1 : 25 (MKJV)

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