| Philemon 1:6 | That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus. | in such sort that thy participation in the faith should become operative in the acknowledgment of every good thing which is in us towards Christ [Jesus]. | praying as I do, that their participation in your faith may result in others fully recognizing all the right affection that is in us toward Christ. |

| Philemon 1:10 | I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds: | I exhort thee for *my* child, whom I have begotten in [my] bonds, Onesimus, | I entreat you on behalf of my own child whose father I have become while in my chains I mean Onesimus. |
| Philemon 1:11 | Who in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now profitable to thee and to me: | once unserviceable to thee, but now serviceable to thee and to me: | Formerly he was useless to you, but now true to his name he is of great use to you and to me. |
| Philemon 1:12 | Whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive him, that is, my own bowels: | whom I have sent back to thee: [but do *thou* receive] him, that is, *my* bowels: | I am sending him back to you, though in so doing I send part of myself. |
| Philemon 1:13 | Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered to me in the bonds of the gospel: | whom *I* was desirous of keeping with myself, that for thee he might minister to me in the bonds of the glad tidings; | It was my wish to keep him at my side for him to attend to my wants, as your representative, during my imprisonment for the Good News. |
| Philemon 1:14 | But without thy mind I would do nothing; that thy benefit should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly. | but I have wished to do nothing without thy mind, that thy good might not be as of necessity but of willingness: | Only I wished to do nothing without your consent, so that his kind action of yours might not be done under pressure, but might be a voluntary one. |
| Philemon 1:15 | For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldst receive him for ever; | for perhaps for this reason he has been separated [from thee] for a time, that thou mightest possess him fully for ever; | For perhaps it was for this reason he was parted from you for a time, that you might receive him back wholly and for ever yours; |
| Philemon 1:16 | Not now as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved, specially to me, but how much more to thee, both in the flesh, and in the Lord? | not any longer as a bondman, but above a bondman, a beloved brother, specially to me, and how much rather to thee, both in [the] flesh and in [the] Lord? | no longer as a slave, but as something better than a slave a brother peculiarly dear to me, and even dearer to you, both as a servant and as a fellow Christian. |
| Philemon 1:17 | If thou accountest me therefore a partner, receive him as myself. | If therefore thou holdest me to be a partner [with thee], receive him as me; | If therefore you regard me as a comrade, receive him as if he were I myself. |

(I say nothing of the fact that you owe me even your own self.) |
| Philemon 1:20 | Yes, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord: refresh my bowels in the Lord. | Yea, brother, *I* would have profit of *thee* in [the] Lord: refresh my bowels in Christ. | Yes, brother, do me this favour for the Lord's sake. Refresh my heart in Christ. |
| Philemon 1:21 | Having confidence in thy obedience I wrote to thee, knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say. | Being confident of thine obedience, I have written to thee, knowing that thou wilt do even more than I say. | I write to you in the full confidence that you will meet my wishes, for I know you will do even more than I say. |
| Philemon 1:22 | But at the same time prepare me also a lodging; for I trust that through your prayers I shall be given to you. | But withal prepare me also a lodging; for I hope that I shall be granted to you through your prayers. | And at the same time provide accommodation for me; for I hope that through your prayers I shall be permitted to come to you. |
