English Bible Presentation Sharing - Philemon Book, chapter 1, verse 2 in Ylt Version

Philemon 1 : 1 (YLT)

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

Philemon 1 : 2 (YLT)

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

Philemon 1 : 3 (YLT)

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

Philemon 1 : 4 (YLT)

I give thanks to my God, always making mention of thee in my prayers,

Philemon 1 : 5 (YLT)

hearing of thy love and faith that thou hast unto the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints,

Philemon 1 : 6 (YLT)

that the fellowship of thy faith may become working in the full knowledge of every good thing that *is in you toward Christ Jesus;

Philemon 1 : 7 (YLT)

for we have much joy and comfort in thy love, because the bowels of the saints have been refreshed through thee, brother.

Philemon 1 : 8 (YLT)

Wherefore, having in Christ much boldness to command thee that which is fit --

Philemon 1 : 9 (YLT)

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

Philemon 1 : 10 (YLT)

I entreat thee concerning my child -- whom I did beget in my bonds -- Onesimus,

Philemon 1 : 11 (YLT)

who once was to thee unprofitable, and now is profitable to me and to thee,

Philemon 1 : 12 (YLT)

whom I did send again, and thou him (that is, my own bowels) receive,

Philemon 1 : 13 (YLT)

whom I did wish to retain to myself, that in thy behalf he might minister to me in the bonds of the good news,

Philemon 1 : 14 (YLT)

and apart from thy mind I willed to do nothing, that as of necessity thy good deed may not be, but of willingness,

Philemon 1 : 15 (YLT)

for perhaps because of this he did depart for an hour, that age-duringly thou mayest have him,

Philemon 1 : 16 (YLT)

no more as a servant, but above a servant -- a brother beloved, especially to me, and how much more to thee, both in the flesh and in the Lord!

Philemon 1 : 17 (YLT)

If, then, with me thou hast fellowship, receive him as me,

Philemon 1 : 18 (YLT)

and if he did hurt to thee, or doth owe anything, this to me be reckoning;

Philemon 1 : 19 (YLT)

I, Paul did write with my hand, I -- I will repay; that I may not say that also thyself, besides, to me thou dost owe.

Philemon 1 : 20 (YLT)

Yes, brother, may I have profit of thee in the Lord; refresh my bowels in the Lord;

Philemon 1 : 21 (YLT)

having been confident in thy obedience I did write to thee, having known that also above what I may say thou wilt do;

Philemon 1 : 22 (YLT)

and at the same time also prepare for me a lodging, for I hope that through your prayers I shall be granted to you.

Philemon 1 : 23 (YLT)

Salute thee doth Epaphras, (my fellow-captive in Christ Jesus,)

Philemon 1 : 24 (YLT)

Markus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lukas, my fellow-workmen!

Philemon 1 : 25 (YLT)

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ *is with your spirit! Amen.
