Philemon 1

1Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy our brother, unto Philemon our dearly beloved, and fellowlabourer,

5Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints;

ακουων σου την αγαπην και την πιστιν ην εχεις προς τον κυριον ιησουν και εις παντας τους αγιους (9219)

6That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.

οπως η κοινωνια της πιστεως σου ενεργης γενηται εν επιγνωσει παντος αγαθου του εν υμιν εις χριστον ιησουν (11701)

7For we have great joy and consolation in thy love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother.

{VAR1: χαριν } {VAR2: χαραν } γαρ εχομεν πολλην και παρακλησιν επι τη αγαπη σου οτι τα σπλαγχνα των αγιων αναπεπαυται δια σου αδελφε (10171)

8Wherefore, though I might be much bold in Christ to enjoin thee that which is convenient,

διο πολλην εν χριστω παρρησιαν εχων επιτασσειν σοι το ανηκον (6132)

See also: 1 Thessalonians 2:6, Psalms 37:25, Romans 1:28, 2 Corinthians 10:8, Philippians 4:3, 2 Corinthians 3:12, 2 Corinthians 7:16, Genesis 50:17, 1 Chronicles 13:2, Jeremiah 38:20, 2 Corinthians 10:1-2, 2 Corinthians 11:21, Ephesians 5:4, 1 Thessalonians 2:2, Philemon 1:14, Nehemiah 5:10, Acts 15:2, Hebrews 13:22

9Yet for love’s sake I rather beseech thee, being such an one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.

δια την αγαπην μαλλον παρακαλω τοιουτος ων ως παυλος πρεσβυτης νυνι δε και δεσμιος ιησου χριστου (10563)

10I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds:

παρακαλω σε περι του εμου τεκνου ον εγεννησα εν τοις δεσμοις μου ονησιμον (6177)

See also: Colossians 4:9, 1 Corinthians 4:15, Galatians 4:19, 1 Timothy 1:2, Titus 1:4, 3 John 1:4, 2 Samuel 19:37-38, 2 Samuel 9:1-7, 2 Samuel 18:5, Ephesians 6:20, 1 Timothy 1:18, Mark 9:17, Luke 6:42, Luke 7:3, Acts 28:20, 1 Timothy 6:2, Philemon 1:17

11Which in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now profitable to thee and to me:

τον ποτε σοι αχρηστον νυνι δε σοι και εμοι ευχρηστον (5172)

See also: 2 Timothy 4:11, Job 30:1-2, Luke 15:32, 1 Peter 2:10, Matthew 25:30, Luke 17:10, Romans 3:12, Luke 15:24, Titus 3:8, Jeremiah 13:7

12Whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive him, that is, mine own bowels:

ον ανεπεμψα συ δε αυτον τουτ εστιν τα εμα σπλαγχνα προσλαβου (6332)

13Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered unto me in the bonds of the gospel:

ον εγω εβουλομην προς εμαυτον κατεχειν ινα υπερ σου διακονη μοι εν τοις δεσμοις του ευαγγελιου (8370)

See also: Ephesians 3:1, Philippians 1:7, 1 Kings 19:21, 1 Corinthians 16:17, Matthew 20:26, Ephesians 4:1, Philippians 2:30, Philemon 1:1, Acts 28:20

14But without thy mind would I do nothing; that thy benefit should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly.

χωρις δε της σης γνωμης ουδεν ηθελησα ποιησαι ινα μη ως κατα αναγκην το αγαθον σου η αλλα κατα εκουσιον (8860)

15For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receive him for ever;

ταχα γαρ δια τουτο εχωρισθη προς ωραν ινα αιωνιον αυτον απεχης (8061)

See also: Genesis 50:20, Genesis 45:5-8, Luke 15:10, Isaiah 20:6, Acts 4:28

16Not 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?

ουκετι ως δουλον αλλ υπερ δουλον αδελφον αγαπητον μαλιστα εμοι ποσω δε μαλλον σοι και εν σαρκι και εν κυριω (9072)

17If thou count me therefore a partner, receive him as myself.

18If he hath wronged thee, or oweth thee ought, put that on mine account;

ει δε τι ηδικησεν σε η οφειλει τουτο εμοι ελλογει (2900)

19I 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.

εγω παυλος εγραψα τη εμη χειρι εγω αποτισω ινα μη λεγω σοι οτι και σεαυτον μοι προσοφειλεις (9818)

20Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord: refresh my bowels in the Lord.

21Having confidence in thy obedience I wrote unto thee, knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say.

πεποιθως τη υπακοη σου εγραψα σοι ειδως οτι και υπερ ο λεγω ποιησεις (7407)

See also: Philippians 1:6, 2 Thessalonians 3:4, 2 Corinthians 2:3, 2 Corinthians 2:9, Romans 15:14, 2 Corinthians 7:16, 2 Corinthians 8:22, Galatians 5:10, 2 Thessalonians 3:14

22But withal prepare me also a lodging: for I trust that through your prayers I shall be given unto you.

αμα δε και ετοιμαζε μοι ξενιαν ελπιζω γαρ οτι δια των προσευχων υμων χαρισθησομαι υμιν (8741)
