Philemon's Love and Faith

4

 aI thankg2168 my Godg2316 alwaysg3842, makingg4160 mentiong3417 of you in my prayersg4335,

5

because I  ahearg191 of your loveg26 and of the faithg4102 whichg3739 you haveg2192 towardg4314 the Lordg2962 Jesusg2424 and towardg1519 allg3956 the  1saintsg40;

6

and I pray that the fellowshipg2842 of your faithg4102 may becomeg1096 effectiveg1756  1throughg1722 the  aknowledgeg1922 of everyg3956 goodg18 thingg18 which is in you  2for Christ'sg5547 sakeg1519.

7

For I have come to haveg2192 muchg4183  ajoyg5479 and comfortg3874 in your loveg26, becauseg3754 the  1heartsg4698 of the  2saintsg40 have been  brefreshedg373 throughg1223 you, brotherg80.

8

Thereforeg1352,  athough I haveg2192  1enoughg4183 confidenceg3954 in Christg5547 to orderg2004 you to do whatg3588 is  bproperg433,

9

yet for love'sg26 sakeg1223 I ratherg3123  aappealg3870 to you --since I amg1510 suchg5108 a persong5108 as Paulg3972,  1the  bagedg4246, and nowg3570 alsog2532  ca prisonerg1198 of  dChristg5547 Jesusg2424--

Plea for Onesimus, a Free Man

10

I  aappealg3870 to you for my  bchildg5043  1 cOnesimusg3682, whomg3739 I have begotteng1080 in my  2imprisonmentg1199,

11

who formerlyg4218 was uselessg890 to you, but nowg3570 is usefulg2173 bothg2532 to you and to me.

12

I have sentg375 him backg375 to you in persong846, that is, sending my very heartg4698,

13

whomg3739 I wishedg1014 to keepg2722 with me, sog2443 that on your behalfg5228 he might ministerg1247 to me in my  1 aimprisonmentg1199 for the gospelg2098;

14

but withoutg5565 your consentg1106 I did not wantg2309 to dog4160 anythingg3762, sog2443 that your goodnessg18 would  anot be, in effectg2596, by compulsiong318 but of your own freeg1595 willg1595.

15

For perhapsg5029  ahe was for thisg3778 reasong1223 separatedg5563 from you for a whileg5610, that you would haveg568 him backg568 foreverg166,

16

 anog3765 longerg3765 as a slaveg1401, but moreg5228 thang5228 a slaveg1401,  ba belovedg27 brotherg80, especiallyg3122 to me, but howg4214 muchg4214 moreg3123 to you, bothg2532  cin the fleshg4561 and in the Lordg2962.

17

Ifg1487 theng3767 you regardg2192 me a  apartnerg2844, acceptg4355 him as you would me.

18

But ifg1487 he has wrongedg91 you in anyg5100 wayg5100 org2228 owesg3784 you anythingg5100, chargeg1677 that to my accountg1677;

19

 aI, Paulg3972, am writingg1125 this with my owng1699 handg5495, I will repayg661 it ( bnot to  1mentiong3004 to you that you oweg4359 to me eveng2532 your owng4572 selfg4572 as wellg4359).

20

Yesg3483a, brotherg80, let me benefitg3685 from you in the Lordg2962;  arefreshg373 my heartg4698 in Christg5547.

21

 aHavingg3982 confidenceg3982 in your obedienceg5218, I writeg1125 to you, since I knowg3609a that you will dog4160 eveng2532 moreg5228 thang5228 whatg3739 I sayg3004.

22

At the sameg260 timeg260 alsog2532 prepareg2090 me a  alodgingg3578, for  bI hopeg1679 that throughg1223  cyour prayersg4335  dI will be giveng5483 to you.

23

 aEpaphrasg1889, my  bfellowg4869 prisonerg4869 in Christg5547 Jesusg2424, greetsg782 you,

24

as do  aMarkg3138,  bAristarchusg708,  cDemasg1214,  cLukeg3065, my  dfellowg4904 workersg4904.

25

 aThe graceg5485 of the Lordg2962 Jesusg2424 Christg5547 be  bwith your spiritg41511
