| Philemon 1:1 | Paul, a prisoner for Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother: To Philemon our dearly-loved fellow labourer | Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon our beloved and fellow-worker, | Paul, prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timotheus the brother, to Philemon the beloved and our fellow-workman, |
| Philemon 1:2 | and to our sister Apphia and our comrade Archippus as well as to the Church in your house. | and to Apphia our sister, and to Archippus our fellow-soldier, and to the church in thy house: | and to the sister Apphia and to Archippus our fellow-soldier, and to the assembly which [is] in thine house. |
| Philemon 1:3 | May grace be granted to you all, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. | Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. | Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and [the] Lord Jesus Christ. |
| Philemon 1:4 | I give continual thanks to my God while making mention of you, my brother, in my prayers, | I thank my God always, making mention of thee in my prayers, | I thank my God, always making mention of thee at my prayers, |
| Philemon 1:5 | because I hear of your love and of the faith which you have towards the Lord Jesus and which you manifest towards all God's people; | hearing of thy love, and of the faith which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all the saints; | hearing of thy love and the faith which thou hast towards the Lord Jesus, and towards all the saints, |
| Philemon 1:6 | 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. | that the fellowship of thy faith may become effectual, in the knowledge of every good thing which is in you, unto Christ. | 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]. |
| Philemon 1:7 | For I have found great joy and comfort in your love, because the hearts of God's people have been, and are, refreshed through you, my brother. | For I had much joy and comfort in thy love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through thee, brother. | For we have great thankfulness and encouragement through thy love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother. |
| Philemon 1:8 | Therefore, though I might with Christ's authority speak very freely and order you to do what is fitting, | Wherefore, though I have all boldness in Christ to enjoin thee that which is befitting, | Wherefore having much boldness in Christ to enjoin thee what is fitting, |
| Philemon 1:9 | it is for love's sake that instead of that although I am none other than Paul the aged, and am now also a prisoner for Christ Jesus, | yet for love's sake I rather beseech, being such a one as Paul the aged, and now a prisoner also of Christ Jesus: | for love's sake I rather exhort, being such a one as Paul the aged, and now also prisoner of Jesus Christ. |
| Philemon 1:10 | I entreat you on behalf of my own child whose father I have become while in my chains I mean Onesimus. | I beseech thee for my child, whom I have begotten in my bonds, Onesimus, | I exhort thee for *my* child, whom I have begotten in [my] bonds, Onesimus, |
| Philemon 1:11 | Formerly he was useless to you, but now true to his name he is of great use to you and to me. | who once was unprofitable to thee, but now is profitable to thee and to me: | once unserviceable to thee, but now serviceable to thee and to me: |
| Philemon 1:12 | I am sending him back to you, though in so doing I send part of myself. | whom I have sent back to thee in his own person, that is, my very heart: | whom I have sent back to thee: [but do *thou* receive] him, that is, *my* bowels: |
| Philemon 1:13 | 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. | whom I would fain have kept with me, that in thy behalf he might minister unto 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; |
| Philemon 1:14 | 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. | but without thy mind I would do nothing; that thy goodness should not be as of necessity, but of free will. | but I have wished to do nothing without thy mind, that thy good might not be as of necessity but of willingness: |
| Philemon 1:15 | 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; | For perhaps he was therefore parted [from thee] for a season, that thou shouldest have 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; |
| Philemon 1:16 | 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. | no longer as a servant, but more than a servant, a brother beloved, specially to me, but how much rather 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? |
| Philemon 1:17 | If therefore you regard me as a comrade, receive him as if he were I myself. | If then thou countest me a partner, receive him as myself. | If therefore thou holdest me to be a partner [with thee], receive him as me; |
| Philemon 1:18 | And if he was ever dishonest or is in your debt, debit me with the amount. | But if he hath wronged thee at all, or oweth [thee] aught, put that to mine account; | but if he have wronged thee anything or owe anything [to thee], put this to my account. |
| Philemon 1:19 | I Paul write this with my own hand I will pay you in full. (I say nothing of the fact that you owe me even your own self.) | I Paul write it with mine own hand, I will repay it: that I say not unto thee that thou owest to me even thine own self besides. | *I* Paul have written [it] with mine own hand; *I* will repay [it]: that I say not to thee that thou owest even thine own self also to me. |
| Philemon 1:20 | Yes, brother, do me this favour for the Lord's sake. Refresh my heart in Christ. | Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord: refresh my heart in Christ. | Yea, brother, *I* would have profit of *thee* in [the] Lord: refresh my bowels in Christ. |
| Philemon 1:21 | 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. | Having confidence in thine obedience I write unto thee, knowing that thou wilt do even beyond what I say. | Being confident of thine obedience, I have written to thee, knowing that thou wilt do even more than I say. |
| Philemon 1:22 | And at the same time provide accommodation for me; for I hope that through your prayers I shall be permitted to come to you. | But withal prepare me also a lodging: for I hope that through your prayers I shall be granted unto you. | But withal prepare me also a lodging; for I hope that I shall be granted to you through your prayers. |
| Philemon 1:23 | Greetings to you, my brother, from Epaphras my fellow prisoner for the sake of Christ Jesus; | Epaphras, my fellow-prisoner in Christ Jesus, saluteth thee; | Epaphras salutes thee, my fellow-prisoner in Christ Jesus; |
| Philemon 1:24 | and from Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers. | [and so do] Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, Luke, my fellow-workers. | Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, Luke, my fellow-workmen. |
| Philemon 1:25 | May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with the spirit of every one of you. | The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen. | The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with your spirit. |
