THE BIBLE - KING JAMES VERSION - BOOK 57 TITLE Book 57 Philemon
57:001:001 Paul a prisoner of Jesus Christ and Timothy our brother
unto Philemon our dearly beloved and fellowlabourer
57:001:002 And to our beloved Apphia and Archippus our fellowsoldier
and to the church in thy house:
57:001:003 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord
Jesus Christ.
57:001:004 I thank my God making mention of thee always in my prayers
57:001:005 Hearing of thy love and faith which thou hast toward the Lord
Jesus and toward all saints;
57:001:006 That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by
the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in
Christ Jesus.
57:001:007 For we have great joy and consolation in thy love because the
bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee brother.
57:001:008 Wherefore though I might be much bold in Christ to enjoin
thee that which is convenient
57:001:009 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.
57:001:010 I beseech thee for my son Onesimus whom I have begotten in my
bonds:
57:001:011 Which in time past was to thee unprofitable but now
profitable to thee and to me:
57:001:012 Whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive him that is
mine own bowels:
57:001:013 Whom I would have retained with me that in thy stead he might
have ministered unto me in the bonds of the gospel:
57:001:014 But without thy mind would I do nothing; that thy benefit
should not be as it were of necessity but willingly.
57:001:015 For perhaps he therefore departed for a season that thou
shouldest receive him for ever;
57:001:016 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?
57:001:017 If thou count me therefore a partner receive him as myself.
57:001:018 If he hath wronged thee or oweth thee ought put that on mine
account;
57:001:019 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.
57:001:020 Yea brother let me have joy of thee in the Lord: refresh my
bowels in the Lord.
57:001:021 Having confidence in thy obedience I wrote unto thee knowing
that thou wilt also do more than I say.
57:001:022 But withal prepare me also a lodging: for I trust that through
your prayers I shall be given unto you.
57:001:023 There salute thee Epaphras my fellowprisoner in Christ Jesus;
57:001:024 Marcus Aristarchus Demas Lucas my fellowlabourers.
57:001:025 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
