| 1 | Paul prisoner of Yahshua Christ, and Timotheos the brother, to Philemon the beloved and our colleague, |
| 2 | and to Apphia the sister, and to Archippos our fellow soldier, and to the assembly at your house, |
| 3 | favor to you and peace from Yahweh our Father and Prince Yahshua Christ. |
| 4 | I give thanks to my God, always making mention of you in my prayers, |
| 5 | hearing of your love and faith which you have for Prince Yahshua and for all the saints, |
| 6 | how the partnership of your faith becomes effective in knowledge of all goodness of that which is with us in Christ. |
| 7 | For I have had much joy and encouragement by your love, seeing that the hearts of the saints are refreshed by you, brother. |
| 8 | On which account having great liberty among the Anointed to enjoin to you that which is fitting, |
| 9 | through love still more I exhort, being such as Paul the elder but now also a prisoner of Christ Yahshua, |
| 10 | I exhort you concerning my child, whom I have begotten in these bonds, Onasimos |
| 11 | whom at one time was useless to you but now is useful to you and to me. |
| 12 | Whom I have sent back to you, he that is my own affections, |
| 13 | whom I have wished to detain for myself in order that in behalf of you he may minister for me in the bonds of the good message. |
| 14 | But without your accord I desire to do nothing, in order that your good would not be as if by force, but voluntarily. |
| 15 | Perhaps for this reason he was separated for a time, that you would hold onto him forever, |
| 16 | no longer as a bondman but more than a bondman, a beloved brother - especially to me - but by how much more to you, both in the flesh, and with the Prince? |
| 17 | Therefore if you have me for a partner, receive him as me. |
| 18 | And if he has wronged you or owes anything, this may be accounted to me. |
| 19 | I Paul have written in my own hand, I will make atonement, in order that I do not say to you that you also owe yourself to me. |
| 20 | Yes, brother, I could profit from you by authority; you among the Anointed must refresh my heart. |
| 21 | Being confident in your obedience I have written to you, knowing that you would do even more than the things I say. |
| 22 | Now at once also prepare for me a lodging. For I hope that through your prayers I am released as a favor to you. |
| 23 | Greeting you are Epaphras my fellow prisoner in Christ Yahshua, |
| 24 | Markos, Aristarchos, Demas and Loukas my colleagues. |
| 25 | The favor of our Prince Yahshua Christ is with your spirits. |
