| Philemon 1:1 | Paul, a prisoner for Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother: To Philemon our dearly-loved fellow labourer | Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon, our dear helper in the faith, | Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy, a brother: to Philemon, our beloved and fellow labourer; |
| 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 brother in God's army, and to the church in your house: | And to Appia, our dearest sister, and to Archippus, our fellow soldier, and to the church which is in thy 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 from 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 give praise to God at all times and make prayer for you, | I give thanks to my God, always making a remembrance of thee in 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 the love and the faith which you have to the Lord Jesus and to all the saints; | Hearing of thy charity and faith, which thou hast in 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 faith which you have in common with them may be working with power, in the knowledge of every good thing in you, for Christ. | That the communication of thy faith may be made evident in the acknowledgment of every good work, that is in you in 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 great joy and comfort in your love, because the hearts of the saints have been made strong again through you, brother. | For I have had great joy and consolation in thy charity, because the bowels of the saints have been 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, | And so, though I might, in the name of Christ, give you orders to do what is right, | Wherefore though I have much confidence in Christ Jesus, to command thee that which is to the purpose: |
| 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, | Still, because of love, in place of an order, I make a request to you, I, Paul, an old man and now a prisoner of Christ Jesus: | For charity sake I rather beseech, whereas thou art such a one, as Paul an old man, and now a prisoner also 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. | My request is for my child Onesimus, the child of my chains, | I beseech thee for my son, whom I have begotten in my bands, 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 in the past was of no profit to you, but now is of profit to you and to me: | Who hath been heretofore unprofitable to thee, but now is profitable both to me and thee, |
| 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 you, him who is my very heart: | Whom I have sent back to thee. And do thou receive him as my own 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. | Though my desire was to keep him with me, to be my servant in the chains of the good news, in your place: | Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered to me in the bands of the gospel: |
| 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 your approval I would do nothing; so that your good works might not be forced, but done freely from your heart. | But without thy counsel I would do nothing: that thy good deed might not be as it were of necessity, but voluntary. |
| 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 it is possible that for this reason he was parted from you for a time, so that you might have him for ever; | For perhaps he therefore departed for a season from thee, that thou mightest receive him again 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, very dear to me specially, but much more to you, in the flesh as well as in the Lord. | Not now as a servant, but instead of a servant, a most dear brother, especially to me: but how much more 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 you take me to be your friend and brother, take him in as myself. | If therefore thou count me a partner, receive him as myself. |
| Philemon 1:18 | And if he was ever dishonest or is in your debt, debit me with the amount. | If he has done you any wrong or is in debt to you for anything, put it to my account. | And if he hath wronged thee in any thing, or is in thy debt, put that 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, writing this myself, say, I will make payment to you: and I do not say to you that you are in debt to me even for your life. | I Paul have written it with my own hand: I will repay it: not to say to thee, that thou owest me thy own self also. |
| Philemon 1:20 | Yes, brother, do me this favour for the Lord's sake. Refresh my heart in Christ. | So brother, let me have joy of you in the Lord: give new life to my heart in Christ. | Yea, brother. May I enjoy thee in the Lord. Refresh my bowels in the Lord. |
| 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. | Being certain that you will do my desire, I am writing to you, in the knowledge that you will do even more than I say. | Trusting in thy obedience, I have written to thee: knowing that thou wilt also do 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. | And make a room ready for me; for I am hoping that through your prayers I will be given to you. | But withal prepare me also a lodging. For I hope that through your prayers I shall be given unto you. |
| Philemon 1:23 | Greetings to you, my brother, from Epaphras my fellow prisoner for the sake of Christ Jesus; | Epaphras, my brother-prisoner in Christ Jesus, sends you his love; | There salute thee Epaphras, 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, and Luke, my brother-workers. | Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke my fellow labourers. |
| 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. So be it. | The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen. |
