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 . ~~~~~~
