Philemon 1

Verses of Philemon 1 of the NKJV from the book of the bible

KJV ASV NIV NKJV

1 - Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, To Philemon our beloved friend and fellow laborer,
2 - to the beloved Apphia, Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the church in your house:
3 - Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
4 - I thank my God, making mention of you always in my prayers,
5 - hearing of your love and faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints,
6 - that the sharing of your faith may become effective by the acknowledgment of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.
7 - For we have great joy and consolation in your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed by you, brother.
8 - Therefore, though I might be very bold in Christ to command you what is fitting,
9 - yet for love's sake I rather appeal to you--being such a one as Paul, the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ--
10 - I appeal to you for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten while in my chains,
11 - who once was unprofitable to you, but now is profitable to you and to me.
12 - I am sending him back. You therefore receive him, that is, my own heart,
13 - whom I wished to keep with me, that on your behalf he might minister to me in my chains for the gospel.
14 - But without your consent I wanted to do nothing, that your good deed might not be by compulsion, as it were, but voluntary.
15 - For perhaps he departed for a while for this purpose, that you might receive him forever,
16 - no longer as a slave but more than a slave--a beloved brother, especially to me but how much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.
17 - If then you count me as a partner, receive him as you would me.
18 - But if he has wronged you or owes anything, put that on my account.
19 - I, Paul, am writing with my own hand. I will repay--not to mention to you that you owe me even your own self besides.
20 - Yes, brother, let me have joy from you in the Lord; refresh my heart in the Lord.
21 - Having confidence in your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even more than I say.
22 - But, meanwhile, also prepare a guest room for me, for I trust that through your prayers I shall be granted to you.
23 - Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, greets you,
24 - as do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, Luke, my fellow laborers.
25 - The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
