Philemon 1

GNT

1 παῦλος δέσμιος χριστοῦ ἰησοῦ καὶ τιμόθεος ὁ ἀδελφὸς φιλήμονι τῶ ἀγαπητῶ καὶ συνεργῶ ἡμῶν

2 καὶ ἀπφίᾳ τῇ ἀδελφῇ καὶ ἀρχίππῳ τῶ συστρατιώτῃ ἡμῶν καὶ τῇ κατ᾽ οἶκόν σου ἐκκλησίᾳ·

3 χάρις ὑμῖν καὶ εἰρήνη ἀπὸ θεοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν καὶ κυρίου ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ.

4 εὐχαριστῶ τῶ θεῶ μου πάντοτε μνείαν σου ποιούμενος ἐπὶ τῶν προσευχῶν μου,

5 ἀκούων σου τὴν ἀγάπην καὶ τὴν πίστιν ἣν ἔχεις πρὸς τὸν κύριον ἰησοῦν καὶ εἰς πάντας τοὺς ἁγίους,

6 ὅπως ἡ κοινωνία τῆς πίστεώς σου ἐνεργὴς γένηται ἐν ἐπιγνώσει παντὸς ἀγαθοῦ τοῦ ἐν ἡμῖν εἰς χριστόν·

7 χαρὰν γὰρ πολλὴν ἔσχον καὶ παράκλησιν ἐπὶ τῇ ἀγάπῃ σου, ὅτι τὰ σπλάγχνα τῶν ἁγίων ἀναπέπαυται διὰ σοῦ, ἀδελφέ.

8 διό, πολλὴν ἐν χριστῶ παρρησίαν ἔχων ἐπιτάσσειν σοι τὸ ἀνῆκον,

9 διὰ τὴν ἀγάπην μᾶλλον παρακαλῶ, τοιοῦτος ὢν ὡς παῦλος πρεσβύτης, νυνὶ δὲ καὶ δέσμιος χριστοῦ ἰησοῦ _

10 παρακαλῶ σε περὶ τοῦ ἐμοῦ τέκνου, ὃν ἐγέννησα ἐν τοῖς δεσμοῖς ὀνήσιμον,

11 τόν ποτέ σοι ἄχρηστον νυνὶ δὲ [καὶ] σοὶ καὶ ἐμοὶ εὔχρηστον,

12 ὃν ἀνέπεμψά σοι, αὐτόν, τοῦτ᾽ ἔστιν τὰ ἐμὰ σπλάγχνα·

13 ὃν ἐγὼ ἐβουλόμην πρὸς ἐμαυτὸν κατέχειν, ἵνα ὑπὲρ σοῦ μοι διακονῇ ἐν τοῖς δεσμοῖς τοῦ εὐαγγελίου,

14 χωρὶς δὲ τῆς σῆς γνώμης οὐδὲν ἠθέλησα ποιῆσαι, ἵνα μὴ ὡς κατὰ ἀνάγκην τὸ ἀγαθόν σου ᾖ ἀλλὰ κατὰ ἑκούσιον.

15 τάχα γὰρ διὰ τοῦτο ἐχωρίσθη πρὸς ὥραν ἵνα αἰώνιον αὐτὸν ἀπέχῃς,

16 οὐκέτι ὡς δοῦλον ἀλλ᾽ ὑπὲρ δοῦλον, ἀδελφὸν ἀγαπητόν, μάλιστα ἐμοί, πόσῳ δὲ μᾶλλον σοὶ καὶ ἐν σαρκὶ καὶ ἐν κυρίῳ.

17 εἰ οὗν με ἔχεις κοινωνόν, προσλαβοῦ αὐτὸν ὡς ἐμέ.

18 εἰ δέ τι ἠδίκησέν σε ἢ ὀφείλει, τοῦτο ἐμοὶ ἐλλόγα·

19 ἐγὼ παῦλος ἔγραψα τῇ ἐμῇ χειρί, ἐγὼ ἀποτίσω· ἵνα μὴ λέγω σοι ὅτι καὶ σεαυτόν μοι προσοφείλεις.

20 ναί, ἀδελφέ, ἐγώ σου ὀναίμην ἐν κυρίῳ· ἀνάπαυσόν μου τὰ σπλάγχνα ἐν χριστῶ.

21 πεποιθὼς τῇ ὑπακοῇ σου ἔγραψά σοι, εἰδὼς ὅτι καὶ ὑπὲρ ἃ λέγω ποιήσεις.

22 ἅμα δὲ καὶ ἑτοίμαζέ μοι ξενίαν, ἐλπίζω γὰρ ὅτι διὰ τῶν προσευχῶν ὑμῶν χαρισθήσομαι ὑμῖν.

23 ἀσπάζεταί σε ἐπαφρᾶς ὁ συναιχμάλωτός μου ἐν χριστῶ ἰησοῦ,

24 μᾶρκος, ἀρίσταρχος, δημᾶς, λουκᾶς, οἱ συνεργοί μου.

25 ἡ χάρις τοῦ κυρίου ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ μετὰ τοῦ πνεύματος ὑμῶν.

1  Paul,³⁹⁷² a prisoner¹¹⁹⁸ of Jesus²⁴²⁴ Christ,⁵⁵⁴⁷ and²⁵³² Timothy⁵⁰⁹⁵ our brother,⁸⁰ unto Philemon⁵³⁷¹ our dearly beloved,²⁷ and²⁵³² fellow laborer,⁴⁹⁰⁴

2  And²⁵³² to our beloved²⁷ Apphia,⁶⁸² and²⁵³² Archippus⁷⁵¹ our²²⁵⁷ fellow soldier,⁴⁹⁶¹ and²⁵³² to the³⁵⁸⁸ church¹⁵⁷⁷ in²⁵⁹⁶ thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ house:³⁶²⁴

3  Grace⁵⁴⁸⁵ to you,⁵²¹³ and²⁵³² peace,¹⁵¹⁵ from⁵⁷⁵ God²³¹⁶ our²²⁵⁷ Father³⁹⁶² and²⁵³² the Lord²⁹⁶² Jesus²⁴²⁴ Christ.⁵⁵⁴⁷

4  I thank²¹⁶⁸ my³⁴⁵⁰ God,²³¹⁶ making⁴¹⁶⁰ mention³⁴¹⁷ of thee⁴⁶⁷⁵ always³⁸⁴² in¹⁹⁰⁹ my³⁴⁵⁰ prayers,⁴³³⁵

5  Hearing¹⁹¹ of thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ love²⁶ and²⁵³² faith,⁴¹⁰² which³⁷³⁹ thou hast²¹⁹² toward⁴³¹⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord²⁹⁶² Jesus,²⁴²⁴ and²⁵³² toward¹⁵¹⁹ all³⁹⁵⁶ saints;⁴⁰

6  That³⁷⁰⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ communication²⁸⁴² of thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ faith⁴¹⁰² may become¹⁰⁹⁶ effectual¹⁷⁵⁶ by¹⁷²² the acknowledging¹⁹²² of every³⁹⁵⁶ good thing¹⁸ which³⁵⁸⁸ is in¹⁷²² you⁵²¹³ in¹⁵¹⁹ Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ Jesus.²⁴²⁴

7  For¹⁰⁶³ we have²¹⁹² great⁴¹⁸³ joy⁵⁴⁸⁵ and²⁵³² consolation³⁸⁷⁴ in¹⁹⁰⁹ thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ love,²⁶ because³⁷⁵⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ bowels⁴⁶⁹⁸ of the³⁵⁸⁸ saints⁴⁰ are refreshed³⁷³ by¹²²³ thee,⁴⁶⁷⁵ brother.⁸⁰

8  Wherefore,¹³⁵² though I might be²¹⁹² much⁴¹⁸³ bold³⁹⁵⁴ in¹⁷²² Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ to enjoin²⁰⁰⁴ thee⁴⁶⁷¹ that which is convenient,⁴³³

9  Yet for love's sake^{1223 26} I rather³¹²³ beseech³⁸⁷⁰ thee, being⁵⁶⁰⁷ such a one⁵¹⁰⁸ as⁵⁶¹³ Paul³⁹⁷² the aged,⁴²⁴⁶ and¹¹⁶¹ now³⁵⁷⁰ also²⁵³² a prisoner¹¹⁹⁸ of Jesus²⁴²⁴ Christ.⁵⁵⁴⁷

10  I beseech³⁸⁷⁰ thee⁴⁵⁷¹ for⁴⁰¹² my¹⁶⁹⁹ son⁵⁰⁴³ Onesimus,³⁶⁸² whom³⁷³⁹ I have begotten¹⁰⁸⁰ in¹⁷²² my³⁴⁵⁰ bonds:¹¹⁹⁹

11  Which³⁵⁸⁸ in time past⁴²¹⁸ was to thee⁴⁶⁷¹ unprofitable,⁸⁹⁰ but¹¹⁶¹ now³⁵⁷⁰ profitable²¹⁷³ to thee⁴⁶⁷¹ and²⁵³² to me:¹⁶⁹⁸

12  Whom³⁷³⁹ I have sent again:³⁷⁵ thou⁴⁷⁷¹ therefore¹¹⁶¹ receive⁴³⁵⁵ him,⁸⁴⁶ that is,⁵¹²³ mine own¹⁶⁹⁹ bowels:⁴⁶⁹⁸

13  Whom³⁷³⁹ I¹⁴⁷³ would¹⁰¹⁴ have retained²⁷²² with⁴³¹⁴ me,¹⁶⁸³ that²⁴⁴³ in thy stead^{5228 4675} he might have ministered unto¹²⁴⁷ me³⁴²⁷ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ bonds¹¹⁹⁹ of the³⁵⁸⁸ gospel:²⁰⁹⁸

14  But¹¹⁶¹ without⁵⁵⁶⁵ thy⁴⁶⁷⁴ mind¹¹⁰⁶ would²³⁰⁹ I do⁴¹⁶⁰ nothing;³⁷⁶² that²⁴⁴³ thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ benefit¹⁸ should not³³⁶¹ be⁵⁶⁰⁰ as it were⁵⁶¹³ of²⁵⁹⁶ necessity,³¹⁸ but²³⁵ willingly.^{2596 1595}

15  For¹⁰⁶³ perhaps⁵⁰²⁹ he therefore^{1223 5124} departed⁵⁵⁶³ for⁴³¹⁴ a season,⁵⁶¹⁰ that²⁴⁴³ thou shouldest receive⁵⁶⁸ him⁸⁴⁶ forever;¹⁶⁶

16  Not now³⁷⁶⁵ as⁵⁶¹³ a servant,¹⁴⁰¹ but²³⁵ above⁵²²⁸ a servant,¹⁴⁰¹ a brother⁸⁰ beloved,²⁷ especially³¹²² to me,¹⁶⁹⁸ but¹¹⁶¹ how much⁴²¹⁴ more³¹²³ unto thee,⁴⁶⁷¹ both²⁵³² in¹⁷²² the flesh⁴⁵⁶¹ and²⁵³² in¹⁷²² the Lord?²⁹⁶²

17  If¹⁴⁸⁷ thou count²¹⁹² me¹⁶⁹¹ therefore³⁷⁶⁷ a partner,²⁸⁴⁴ receive⁴³⁵⁵ him⁸⁴⁶ as⁵⁶¹³ myself.¹⁶⁹¹

18  ¹¹⁶¹ If¹⁴⁸⁷ he hath wronged⁹¹ thee,⁴⁵⁷¹ or²²²⁸ oweth³⁷⁸⁴ thee aught,⁵¹⁰⁰ put that on mine account;^{1677 5124 1698}

19  I¹⁴⁷³ Paul³⁹⁷² have written¹¹²⁵ it with mine own¹⁶⁹⁹ hand,⁵⁴⁹⁵ I¹⁴⁷³ will repay⁶⁶¹ it: albeit²⁴⁴³ I do not³³⁶¹ say³⁰⁰⁴ to thee⁴⁶⁷¹ how³⁷⁵⁴ thou owest⁴³⁵⁹ unto me³⁴²⁷ even²⁵³² thine own self⁴⁵⁷² besides.

20  Yea,³⁴⁸³ brother,⁸⁰ let me¹⁴⁷³ have joy³⁶⁸⁵ of thee⁴⁶⁷⁵ in¹⁷²² the Lord:²⁹⁶² refresh³⁷³ my³⁴⁵⁰ bowels⁴⁶⁹⁸ in¹⁷²² the Lord.²⁹⁶²

21  Having confidence³⁹⁸² in thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ obedience⁵²¹⁸ I wrote¹¹²⁵ unto thee,⁴⁶⁷¹ knowing¹⁴⁹² that³⁷⁵⁴ thou wilt also²⁵³² do⁴¹⁶⁰ more than^{5228 3739} I say.³⁰⁰⁴

22  But¹¹⁶¹ withal²⁶⁰ prepare²⁰⁹⁰ me³⁴²⁷ also²⁵³² a lodging:³⁵⁷⁸ for¹⁰⁶³ I trust¹⁶⁷⁹ that³⁷⁵⁴ through¹²²³ your⁵²¹⁶ prayers⁴³³⁵ I shall be given⁵⁴⁸³ unto you.⁵²¹³

23  There salute⁷⁸² thee⁴⁵⁷¹ Epaphras,¹⁸⁸⁹ my³⁴⁵⁰ fellow prisoner⁴⁸⁶⁹ in¹⁷²² Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ Jesus;²⁴²⁴

24  Mark,³¹³⁸ Aristarchus,⁷⁰⁸ Demas,¹²¹⁴ Luke,³⁰⁶⁵ my³⁴⁵⁰ fellow laborers.⁴⁹⁰⁴

25  The³⁵⁸⁸ grace⁵⁴⁸⁵ of our²²⁵⁷ Lord²⁹⁶² Jesus²⁴²⁴ Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ be with³³²⁶ your⁵²¹⁶ spirit.⁴¹⁵¹ Amen.²⁸¹

1 Paulus vinctus Christi Jesu, et Timotheus frater, Philemoni dilecto, et adjutori nostro,

2 et Appiæ sorori carissimæ, et Archippo commilitoni nostro, et ecclesiæ, quæ in domo tua est.

3 Gratia vobis, et pax a Deo Patre nostro, et Domino Jesu Christo.

4 Gratias ago Deo meo, semper memoriam tui faciens in orationibus meis,

5 audiens caritatem tuam, et fidem, quam habes in Domino Jesu, et in omnes sanctos:

6 ut communicatio fidei tuæ evidens fiat in agnitione omnis operis boni, quod est in vobis in Christo Jesu.

7 Gaudium enim magnum habui, et consolationem in caritate tua: quia viscera sanctorum requieverunt per te, frater.

8 Propter quod multam fiduciam habens in Christo Jesu imperandi tibi quod ad rem pertinet:

9 propter caritatem magis obsecro, cum sis talis, ut Paulus senex, nunc autem et vinctus Jesu Christi:

10 obsecro te pro meo filio, quem genui in vinculis, Onesimo,

11 qui tibi aliquando inutilis fuit, nunc autem et mihi et tibi utilis,

12 quem remisi tibi. Tu autem illum, ut mea viscera, suscipe:

13 quem ego volueram mecum detinere, ut pro te mihi ministraret in vinculis Evangelii:

14 sine consilio autem tuo nihil volui facere, uti ne velut ex necessitate bonum tuum esset, sed voluntarium.

15 Forsitan enim ideo discessit ad horam a te, ut æternum illum reciperes:

16 jam non ut servum, sed pro servo carissimum fratrem, maxime mihi: quanto autem magis tibi et in carne, et in Domino?

17 Si ergo habes me socium, suscipe illum sicut me:

18 si autem aliquid nocuit tibi, aut debet, hoc mihi imputa.

19 Ego Paulus scripsi mea manu: ego reddam, ut non dicam tibi, quod et teipsum mihi debes:

20 ita, frater. Ego te fruar in Domino: refice viscera mea in Domino.

21 Confidens in obedientia tua scripsi tibi: sciens quoniam et super id, quod dico, facies.

22 Simul autem et para mihi hospitium: nam spero per orationes vestras donari me vobis.

23 Salutat te Epaphras concaptivus meus in Christo Jesu,

24 Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, et Lucas, adjutores mei.

25 Gratia Domini nostri Jesu Christi cum spiritu vestro. Amen.
