PHM-11  Paul a prisoner of Jesus Christ and Timothy our brother

unto Philemon our dearly beloved and fellowlabourer .

PHM-12  And to our beloved Apphia and Archippus our

fellowsoldier and to the church in thy house .

PHM-13  Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord

Jesus Christ .

PHM-14  I thank my God making mention of thee always in my

prayers .

PHM-15  Hearing of thy love and faith which thou hast toward the

Lord Jesus and toward all saints .

PHM-16  That the communication of thy faith may become effectual

by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in

Christ Jesus .

PHM-17  For we have great joy and consolation in thy love

because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee brother .

PHM-18  Wherefore though I might be much bold in Christ to

enjoin thee that which is convenient .

PHM-19  Yet for love's sake I rather beseech thee being such an

one as Paul the aged and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ .

PHM-110  I beseech thee for my son Onesimus whom I have begotten

in my bonds .

PHM-111  Which in time past was to thee unprofitable but now

profitable to thee and to me .

PHM-112  Whom I have sent again thou therefore receive him that

is mine own bowels .

PHM-113  Whom I would have retained with me that in thy stead he

might have ministered unto me in the bonds of the gospel .

PHM-114  But without thy mind would I do nothing that thy

benefit should not be as it were of necessity but willingly .

PHM-115  For perhaps he therefore departed for a season that

thou shouldest receive him for ever .

PHM-116  Not 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 .

PHM-117  If thou count me therefore a partner receive him as

myself .

PHM-118  If he hath wronged thee or oweth thee ought put that on

mine account .

PHM-119  I 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 .

PHM-120  Yea brother let me have joy of thee in the Lord refresh

my bowels in the Lord .

PHM-121  Having confidence in thy obedience I wrote unto thee

knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say .

PHM-122  But withal prepare me also a lodging for I trust that

through your prayers I shall be given unto you .

PHM-123  There salute thee Epaphras my fellowprisoner in Christ

Jesus .

PHM-124  Marcus Aristarchus Demas Lucas my fellowlabourers .

PHM-125  The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit

Amen .
