| 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, unto Philemon our dearly beloved, and fellowlabourer, | Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon, our beloved fellow worker, |
| Philemon 1:2 | and to our sister Apphia and our comrade Archippus as well as to the Church in your house. | And to our beloved Apphia, and Archippus our fellowsoldier, and to the church in thy house: | to the beloved Apphia, to Archippus, our fellow soldier, and to the assembly in your 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, making mention of thee always in my prayers, | I thank my God always, making mention of you 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 thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; | hearing of your love, and of the faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus, and toward 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 communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus. | that the fellowship of your faith may become effective, in the knowledge of every good thing which is in us, 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 we have great joy and consolation in thy love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother. | For we have much joy and comfort in your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you, 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 might be much bold in Christ to enjoin thee that which is convenient, | Therefore, though I have all boldness in Christ to command you that which is appropriate, |
| 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 thee, being such an one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ. | yet for love's sake I rather beg, being such a one as Paul, the aged, and now a prisoner also of Christ Jesus. |
| 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 son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds: | I beg you for my child, whom I have fathered 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. | Which in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now profitable to thee and to me: | who once was useless to you, but now is useful to you 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 again: thou therefore receive him, that is, mine own bowels: | I am sending him back. You therefore receive him, that is, my own heart, |
| 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 have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered unto me in the bonds of the gospel: | whom I wanted to keep with me, that in your behalf he might minister to me in the bonds 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 thy mind would I do nothing; that thy benefit should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly. | But I was willing to do nothing without your consent, that your goodness would not be as of necessity, but of free will. |
| 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 therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receive him for ever; | For perhaps he was therefore separated from you for a while, that you would have him forever, |
| 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. | Not now as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved, specially to me, but how much more unto thee, both in the flesh, and in the Lord? | no longer as a slave, but more than a slave, a beloved brother, specially to me, but how much rather to you, 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 thou count me therefore a partner, receive him as myself. | If then you count me a partner, receive him as you would receive me. |
| Philemon 1:18 | And if he was ever dishonest or is in your debt, debit me with the amount. | If he hath wronged thee, or oweth thee ought, put that on mine account; | But if he has wronged you at all, or owes you anything, 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 have written it with mine own hand, I will repay it: albeit I do not say to thee how thou owest unto me even thine own self besides. | I, Paul, write this with my own hand: I will repay it (not to mention to you that you owe to me even your own self besides). |
| 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 bowels in the Lord. | Yes, brother, let me have joy from you in the Lord. Refresh my heart 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. | Having confidence in thy obedience I wrote unto thee, knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say. | Having confidence in your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even beyond what 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 trust that through your prayers I shall be given unto you. | Also, prepare a guest room for me, for I hope that through your prayers I will be restored to you. |
| Philemon 1:23 | Greetings to you, my brother, from Epaphras my fellow prisoner for the sake of Christ Jesus; | There salute thee Epaphras, my fellowprisoner in Christ Jesus; | Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, greets you, |
| Philemon 1:24 | and from Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers. | Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas, my fellowlabourers. | as do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers. |
| 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. Amen. |
