4 He rejoiceth to hear of the faith and love of Philemon, 9 whom he desireth to forgive his servant Onesimus, and lovingly to receive him again.

1:1 ¶ Paul, 3972 a prisoner 1198 of Jesus 2424 Christ, 5547 and 2532 Timothy 5095 [our] brother, 80 unto Philemon 5371 our y2257 dearly beloved, 27 and 2532 fellow laborer, 4904

1:2 And 2532 to [our] beloved 27 Apphia, 682 and 2532 Archippus 751 our 2257 fellow soldier, 4961 and 2532 to the x3588 church 1577 in 2596 thy 4675 house: 3624

1:3 Grace 5485 to you, 5213 and 2532 peace, 1515 from 575 God 2316 our 2257 Father 3962 and 2532 the Lord 2962 Jesus 2424 Christ. 5547

1:4 I thank 2168 z5719 my 3450 God, 2316 making 4160 z5734 mention 3417 of thee 4675 always 3842 in 1909 my 3450 prayers, 4335

1:5 Hearing 191 z5723 of thy 4675 love 26 and 2532 faith, 4102 which 3739 thou hast 2192 z5719 toward 4314 the x3588 Lord 2962 Jesus, 2424 and 2532 toward 1519 all 3956 saints; 40

1:6 That 3704 the x3588 communication 2842 of thy 4675 faith 4102 may become 1096 z5638 effectual 1756 by 1722 the acknowledging 1922 of every 3956 good thing 18 which 3588 is in 1722 you 5213 in 1519 Christ 5547 Jesus. 2424

1:7 For 1063 we have 2192 z5719 great 4183 joy 5485 and 2532 consolation 3874 in 1909 thy 4675 love, 26 because 3754 the x3588 bowels 4698 of the x3588 saints 40 are refreshed 373 z5769 by 1223 thee, 4675 brother. 80

1:8 Wherefore, 1352 though I might be 2192 z5723 much 4183 bold 3954 in 1722 Christ 5547 to enjoin 2004 z5721 thee 4671 that which is convenient, 433 z5723

1:9 Yet for y1223 love's y26 sake x1223 x26 I y3870 z0 rather 3123 beseech 3870 z5719 [thee], being 5607 z5752 such a one 5108 as 5613 Paul 3972 the aged, 4246 and 1161 now 3570 also 2532 a prisoner 1198 of Jesus 2424 Christ. 5547

1:10 I beseech 3870 z5719 thee 4571 for 4012 my 1699 son 5043 Onesimus, 3682 whom 3739 I have begotten 1080 z5656 in 1722 my 3450 bonds: 1199

1:11 Which 3588 in time past 4218 was y890 z0 to thee 4671 unprofitable, 890 but 1161 now 3570 profitable 2173 to thee 4671 and 2532 to me: 1698

1:12 Whom 3739 I have sent again: 375 z5656 thou 4771 therefore 1161 receive 4355 z5640 him, 846 that is, 5123 z5748 mine own 1699 bowels: 4698

1:13 Whom 3739 I 1473 would 1014 z5711 have retained 2722 z5721 with 4314 me, 1683 that 2443 in thy y4675 stead 5228 x4675 he might have ministered y1247 z5725 unto x1247 me 3427 in 1722 the x3588 bonds 1199 of the x3588 gospel: 2098

1:14 But 1161 without 5565 thy 4674 mind 1106 would 2309 z5656 I do 4160 z5658 nothing; 3762 that y3363 z0 x2443 thy 4675 benefit 18 should y5600 z0 not y3363 x3361 be 5600 z5753 as y5613 it were x5613 of 2596 necessity, 318 but 235 willingly. 1595 2596

1:15 For 1063 y1223 perhaps 5029 he y5563 z0 therefore 5124 x1223 departed 5563 z5681 for 4314 a season, 5610 that 2443 thou shouldest receive 568 z5719 him 846 forever; 166

1:16 Not now 3765 as 5613 a servant, 1401 but 235 above 5228 a servant, 1401 a brother 80 beloved, 27 especially 3122 to me, 1698 but 1161 how much 4214 more 3123 unto thee, 4671 both 2532 in 1722 the flesh 4561 and 2532 in 1722 the Lord? 2962

1:17 If 1487 thou count 2192 z5719 me 1691 therefore 3767 a partner, 2844 receive 4355 z5640 him 846 as 5613 myself. 1691

1:18 x1161 If 1487 y1161 he hath wronged 91 z5656 thee, 4571 or 2228 oweth 3784 z5719 [thee] aught, 5100 put y1677 z0 that y5124 on y1677 z5720 mine account; 1698 x1677 x5124

1:19 I 1473 Paul 3972 have written 1125 z5656 [it] with mine own 1699 hand, 5495 I 1473 will repay 661 z5692 [it]: albeit y3363 z0 x2443 I do y3004 z0 not y3363 x3361 say 3004 z5725 to thee 4671 how 3754 thou owest 4359 z0 unto me 3427 even 2532 thine own self 4572 besides. y4359 z5719

1:20 Yea, 3483 brother, 80 let y3685 z0 me 1473 have joy 3685 z5636 of thee 4675 in 1722 the Lord: 2962 refresh 373 z5657 my 3450 bowels 4698 in 1722 the Lord. 2962

1:21 Having confidence 3982 z5756 in thy 4675 obedience 5218 I wrote 1125 z5656 unto thee, 4671 knowing 1492 z5761 that 3754 thou wilt y4160 z0 also 2532 do 4160 z5692 more than 3739 5228 I say. 3004 z5719

1:22 But 1161 withal 260 prepare 2090 z5720 me 3427 also 2532 a lodging: 3578 for 1063 I trust 1679 z5719 that 3754 through 1223 your 5216 prayers 4335 I shall be given 5483 z5701 unto you. 5213

1:23 There salute 782 z5736 thee 4571 Epaphras, 1889 my 3450 fellow prisoner 4869 in 1722 Christ 5547 Jesus; 2424

1:24 Mark, 3138 Aristarchus, 708 Demas, 1214 Luke, 3065 my 3450 fellow laborers. 4904

1:25 The x3588 grace 5485 of our 2257 Lord 2962 Jesus 2424 Christ 5547 [be] with 3326 your 5216 spirit. 4151 Amen. 281
