Chapter 1
Phil | Common | 1:1 | Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon our beloved brother and fellow worker, | |
Phil | Common | 1:2 | and to Apphia our sister, and to Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the church in your house: | |
Phil | Common | 1:5 | because I hear of your love and of the faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus and all the saints, | |
Phil | Common | 1:6 | and I pray that the sharing of your faith may become effective through the knowledge of every good thing that is ours in Christ. | |
Phil | Common | 1:7 | For I have derived much joy and comfort from your love, my brother, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you. | |
Phil | Common | 1:9 | yet for love’s sake I rather appeal to you—since I am such a person as Paul, the aged, and now also a prisoner of Christ Jesus— | |
Phil | Common | 1:10 | I appeal to you for my child, Onesimus, whose father I have become in my imprisonment. | |
Phil | Common | 1:13 | I would have been glad to keep him with me, so that he might serve me on your behalf during my imprisonment for the gospel; | |
Phil | Common | 1:14 | but without your consent I did not want to do anything, so that your goodness would not be, in effect, by compulsion but of your own free will. | |
Phil | Common | 1:15 | Perhaps this is the reason he was separated from you for a while, that you might have him back for ever, | |
Phil | Common | 1:16 | no longer as a slave, but more than a slave, as a beloved brother, especially to me, but how much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord. | |
Phil | Common | 1:19 | I, Paul, am writing this with my own hand, I will pay it back—not to mention that you owe me even your own self. | |
Phil | Common | 1:20 | Yes, brother, let me have some benefit from you in the Lord; refresh my heart in Christ. | |
Phil | Common | 1:21 | Confident of your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even more than I say. | |
Phil | Common | 1:22 | At the same time, prepare a guest room for me, for I hope through your prayers to be granted to you. | |
