Philemon, Ancient Greek
1.
Παῦλος,
δέσμιος
Χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ,
καὶ Τιμόθεος ὁ
ἀδελφός,
Φιλήμονι τῷ
ἀγαπητῷ καὶ
συνεργῷ ἡμῶν
2.
καὶ Ἀπφίᾳ τῇ
ἀγαπητῇ καὶ
Ἀρχίππῳ τῷ
συστρατιώτῃ
ἡμῶν καὶ τῇ
κατ' οἶκόν σου
ἐκκλησίᾳ·
3.
χάρις ὑμῖν καὶ
εἰρήνη ἀπὸ
Θεοῦ πατρὸς
ἡμῶν καὶ Κυρίου
Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ.
4.
Εὐχαριστῶ τῷ
Θεῷ μου
πάντοτε μνείαν
σου ποιούμενος
ἐπὶ τῶν
προσευχῶν μου,
5.
ἀκούων σου τὴν
ἀγάπην καὶ τὴν
πίστιν ἣν
ἔχεις πρὸς τὸν
Κύριον Ἰησοῦν
καὶ εἰς πάντας
τοὺς ἁγίους,
6.
ὅπως ἡ
κοινωνία τῆς
πίστεώς σου
ἐνεργὴς
γένηται ἐν
ἐπιγνώσει
παντὸς ἀγαθοῦ
τοῦ ἐν ἡμῖν
εἰς Χριστὸν
Ἰησοῦν.
7.
χαρὰν γὰρ
ἔχομεν πολλὴν
καὶ
παράκλησιν
ἐπὶ τῇ ἀγάπῃ
σου, ὅτι τὰ
σπλάγχνα τῶν
ἁγίων
ἀναπέπαυται διὰ
σοῦ, ἀδελφέ.
8.
Διό, πολλὴν ἐν
Χριστῷ
παρρησίαν
ἔχων
ἐπιτάσσειν
σοι τὸ ἀνῆκον,
9.
διὰ τὴν ἀγάπην
μᾶλλον
παρακαλῶ,
τοιοῦτος ὤν, ὡς
Παῦλος
πρεσβύτης,
νυνὶ δὲ καὶ δέσμιος
Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ,
10.
παρακαλῶ σε
περὶ τοῦ ἐμοῦ
τέκνου, ὃν
ἐγέννησα ἐν
τοῖς δεσμοῖς
μου, Ὀνήσιμον,
11.
τόν ποτέ σοι
ἄχρηστον, νυνὶ
δὲ σοὶ καὶ
ἐμοὶ εὔχρηστον,
12.
ὃν ἀνέπεμψα· σὺ
δὲ αὐτόν, τοῦτ'
ἔστι τὰ ἐμὰ
σπλάγχνα,
προσλαβοῦ·
13.
ὃν ἐγὼ
ἐβουλόμην
πρὸς ἐμαυτὸν
κατέχειν, ἵνα
ὑπὲρ σοῦ
διακονῇ μοι ἐν
τοῖς δεσμοῖς
τοῦ εὐαγγελίου·
14.
χωρὶς δὲ τῆς
σῆς γνώμης
οὐδὲν ἠθέλησα
ποιῆσαι, ἵνα μὴ
ὡς κατὰ
ἀνάγκην τὸ
ἀγαθόν σου ᾖ,
ἀλλὰ κατὰ ἑκούσιον.
15.
τάχα γὰρ διὰ
τοῦτο
ἐχωρίσθη πρὸς
ὥραν, ἵνα
αἰώνιον αὐτὸν
ἀπέχῃς,
16.
οὐκέτι ὡς
δοῦλον, ἀλλ'
ὑπὲρ δοῦλον,
ἀδελφὸν ἀγαπητόν,
μάλιστα ἐμοί,
πόσῳ δὲ μᾶλλον
σοὶ καὶ ἐν σαρκὶ
καὶ ἐν Κυρίῳ
17.
εἰ οὖν με ἔχεις
κοινωνόν,
προσλαβοῦ
αὐτὸν ὡς ἐμέ.
18.
εἰ δέ τι
ἠδίκησέ σε ἢ
ὀφείλει, τοῦτο
ἐμοὶ ἐλλόγει·
19.
ἐγὼ Παῦλος
ἔγραψα τῇ ἐμῇ
χειρί, ἐγὼ
ἀποτίσω· ἵνα μὴ
λέγω σοι ὅτι
καὶ σεαυτόν
μοι
προσοφείλεις.
20.
ναί, ἀδελφέ, ἐγώ
σου ὀναίμην ἐν
Κυρίῳ·
ἀνάπαυσόν μου
τὰ σπλάγχνα ἐν
Κυρίῳ.
21.
Πεποιθὼς τῇ
ὑπακοῇ σου
ἔγραψά σοι,
εἰδὼς ὅτι καὶ
ὑπὲρ ὃ λέγω
ποιήσεις.
22.
ἅμα δὲ καὶ
ἑτοίμαζέ μοι
ξενίαν· ἐλπίζω
γὰρ ὅτι διὰ τῶν
προσευχῶν
ὑμῶν
χαρισθήσομαι
ὑμῖν.
23.
Ἀσπάζεταί σε
Ἐπαφρᾶς ὁ
συναιχμάλωτός
μου ἐν Χριστῷ
Ἰησοῦ,
24.
Μᾶρκος,
Ἀρίσταρχος,
Δημᾶς, Λουκᾶς,
οἱ συνεργοί μου.
25. Ἡ
χάρις τοῦ
Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ
Χριστοῦ μετὰ
τοῦ πεύματος
ὑμῶν· ἀμήν.
Philemon, (KJV)
1. Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ,
and Timothy our brother, unto Philemon our dearly beloved, and fellowlabourer,
2. And to our beloved Apphia, and Archippus our
fellowsoldier, and to the church in thy house:
3. Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father
and the Lord Jesus Christ.
4. I thank my God, making mention of thee always
in my prayers,
5. Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou
hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints;
6. That the communication of thy faith may become
effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ
Jesus.
7. For we have great joy and consolation in thy
love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother.
8. Wherefore, though I might be much bold in
Christ to enjoin thee that which is convenient,
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.
10. I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom
I have begotten in my bonds:
11. Which in time past was to thee unprofitable,
but now profitable to thee and to me:
12. Whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive
him, that is, mine own bowels:
13. Whom I would have retained with me, that
in thy stead he might have ministered unto me in the bonds of the gospel:
14. But without thy mind would I do nothing;
that thy benefit should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly.
15. For perhaps he therefore departed for a season,
that thou shouldest receive him for ever;
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?
17. If thou count me therefore a partner, receive
him as myself.
18. If he hath wronged thee, or oweth thee ought,
put that on mine account;
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.
20. Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in
the Lord: refresh my bowels in the Lord.
21. Having confidence in thy obedience I wrote
unto thee, knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say.
22. But withal prepare me also a lodging: for
I trust that through your prayers I shall be given unto you.
23. There salute thee Epaphras, my fellowprisoner
in Christ Jesus;
24. Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas, my fellowlabourers.
25. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with
your spirit. Amen. Written from Rome to Philemon, by Onesimus a servant.
