^ Phm 1.1:   Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy [our] brother, unto Philemon our dearly beloved, and fellowlabourer,
^ Phm 1.2:   And to [our] beloved Apphia, and Archippus our fellowsoldier, and to the church in thy house:
^ Phm 1.3:   Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
^ Phm 1.4:   I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers,
^ Phm 1.5:   Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints;
^ Phm 1.6:   That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.
^ Phm 1.7:   For we have great joy and consolation in thy love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother.
^ Phm 1.8:   Wherefore, though I might be much bold in Christ to enjoin thee that which is convenient,
^ Phm 1.9:   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 1.10:   I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds:
^ Phm 1.11:   Which in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now profitable to thee and to me:
^ Phm 1.12:   Whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive him, that is, mine own bowels:
^ Phm 1.13:   Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered unto me in the bonds of the gospel:
^ Phm 1.14:   But without thy mind would I do nothing; that thy benefit should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly.
^ Phm 1.15:   For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receive him for ever;
^ Phm 1.16:   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 1.17:   If thou count me therefore a partner, receive him as myself.
^ Phm 1.18:   If he hath wronged thee, or oweth [thee] ought, put that on mine account;
^ Phm 1.19:   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 1.20:   Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord: refresh my bowels in the Lord.
^ Phm 1.21:   Having confidence in thy obedience I wrote unto thee, knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say.
^ Phm 1.22:   But withal prepare me also a lodging: for I trust that through your prayers I shall be given unto you.
^ Phm 1.23:   There salute thee Epaphras, my fellowprisoner in Christ Jesus;
^ Phm 1.24:   Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas, my fellowlabourers.
^ Phm 1.25:   The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with your spirit. Amen.
