Paul's Letter to Philemon

Philemon 1

1:1 Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy, a brother, to Philemon, our beloved fellow laborer,
1:2 and to Apphia, most beloved sister, and to Archippus, our fellow soldier, and to the church which is in your house.
1:3 Gnade und Frieden für dich, from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
1:4 I give thanks to my God, always keeping remembrance of you in my prayers,
1:5 (for I am hearing of your charity and faith, which you have in the Lord Jesus and with all the saints)
1:6 so that the participation of your faith may become evident by the recognition of every good work which is in you in Christ Jesus.
1:7 For I have found great joy and consolation in your charity, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed by you, Bruder.
1:8 Aus diesem Grund, I have enough confidence in Christ Jesus to command you concerning certain things,
1:9 but I beg you instead, for the sake of charity, since you are so much like Paul: an old man and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.
1:10 Ich bitte Sie, on behalf of my son, whom I have begotten in my chains, Onesimus.
1:11 In times past, he was useless to you, but now he is useful both to me and to you.
1:12 So I have sent him back to you. And may you receive him like my own heart.
1:13 I myself wanted to retain him with me, so that he might minister to me, on your behalf, while I am in the chains of the Gospel.
1:14 But I was willing to do nothing without your counsel, so as not to make use of your good deed as if out of necessity, but only willingly.
1:15 So perhaps, Dann, he departed from you for a time, so that you might receive him again for eternity,
1:16 no longer as a servant, Aber, in place of a servant, a most beloved brother, especially to me: but how much so more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord!
1:17 Deshalb, if you hold me to be a companion, receive him as you would me.
1:18 But if he has harmed you in any way, or if he is in your debt, charge it to me.
1:19 ICH, Paul, have written this with my own hand: I will repay. And I need not tell you, that you are also in debt yourself, to me.
1:20 So it is, Bruder. May I delight with you in the Lord! Refresh my heart in Christ.
1:21 I have written to you, trusting in your obedience, knowing, zu, that you will do even more than what I say.
1:22 But also, at once, prepare a lodging for me. For I am hoping, through your prayers, to present myself to you.
1:23 Greet Epaphras, my fellow captive in Christ Jesus,
1:24 and Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my helpers.
1:25 Möge die Gnade unseres Herrn Jesus Christus mit deinem Geist sein. Amen.
