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.
