Pileymon (Philemon) 1

1Sha’ul, a prisoner of Messiah יהושע, and Timotiyos the brother, to Pileymon our beloved one and fellow worker,
2and Apphia our sister, and Archippos our fellow soldier, and the assembly at your house:
3Favour to you and peace from Elohim our Father and the Master יהושע Messiah.
4I always thank my Elohim when I mention you in my prayers,
5hearing of your love and the belief which you have toward the Master יהושע and toward all the set-apart ones,
6so that the sharing of your belief might become working in the knowledge of all the good which is in you toward Messiah יהושע.
7For we have much joy and encouragement in your love, because the tender affections of the set-apart ones have been refreshed by you, brother.
8Therefore, although I have much boldness in Messiah to command you what is fitting,
9because of love, I rather appeal – being such a one as Sha’ul, the aged, and now also a prisoner of יהושע Messiah –
10I appeal to you for my child Onesimos, whom I brought forth while in my chains,
11who formerly was of no use to you, but now is of good use to you and to me,
12whom I sent back to you, and receive him, that is, my own tender affections,
13whom I wished to keep with me, that on your behalf he might serve me in my chains for the Good News.
14But without your opinion I wished to do none at all, so that your good deed should not be by way of necessity, but voluntary.
15For he parted from you for a while, possibly because of this, so that you might have him back forever,
16no longer as a slave but more than a slave, as a beloved brother, especially to me, and how much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Master.
17So, if you regard me as your partner, receive him as you would me.
18But if he has wronged you or owes you whatever, put that on my account.
19I, Sha’ul, wrote with my own hand. I shall repay – not to mention to you that you indeed owe yourself to me also.
20Yes, brother, let me derive pleasure from you in the Master, refresh my tender affections in the Master.
21Trusting in your obedience, I wrote to you, knowing that you shall do even more than I say.
22And at the same time also prepare a place for me to stay, for I trust that through your prayers I shall be given to you.
23Epaphras, fellow prisoner of me in Messiah יהושע, greets you,
24and Marqos, Aristarchos, Demas, Luqas, my fellow workers.
25The favour of our Master יהושע Messiah be with your spirit. Amĕn.

Philemon 1

1Paul, prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timotheus the brother, to Philemon the beloved and our fellow-workman, 2and to the sister Apphia and to Archippus our fellow-soldier, and to the assembly which is in thine house. 3Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. 4I thank my God, always making mention of thee at my prayers, 5hearing of thy love and the faith which thou hast towards the Lord Jesus, and towards all the saints, 6in such sort that thy participation in the faith should become operative in the acknowledgment of every good thing which is in us towards Christ Jesus. 7For we have great thankfulness and encouragement through thy love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother.
8Wherefore having much boldness in Christ to enjoin thee what is fitting, 9for love's sake I rather exhort, being such a one as Paul the aged, and now also prisoner of Jesus Christ. 10I exhort thee for my child, whom I have begotten in my bonds, Onesimus, 11once unserviceable to thee, but now serviceable to thee and to me: 12whom I have sent back to thee: but do thou receive him, that is, my bowels: 13whom I was desirous of keeping with myself, that for thee he might minister to me in the bonds of the glad tidings; 14but I have wished to do nothing without thy mind, that thy good might not be as of necessity but of willingness: 15for perhaps for this reason he has been separated from thee for a time, that thou mightest possess him fully for ever; 16not any longer as a bondman, but above a bondman, a beloved brother, specially to me, and how much rather to thee, both in the flesh and in the Lord? 17If therefore thou holdest me to be a partner with thee, receive him as me; 18but if he have wronged thee anything or owe anything to thee, put this to my account. 19I Paul have written it with mine own hand; I will repay it: that I say not to thee that thou owest even thine own self also to me. 20Yea, brother, I would have profit of thee in the Lord: refresh my bowels in Christ. 21Being confident of thine obedience, I have written to thee, knowing that thou wilt do even more than I say. 22But withal prepare me also a lodging; for I hope that I shall be granted to you through your prayers. 23Epaphras salutes thee, my fellow-prisoner in Christ Jesus; 24Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, Luke, my fellow-workmen. 25The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
