Philemon - douay rheims

Chapter 1

¹ Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy, a brother: to Philemon, our beloved and fellow labourer;
² And to Appia, our dearest sister, and to Archippus, our fellow soldier, and to the church which is in thy house:
³ Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
⁴ I give thanks to my God, always making a remembrance of thee in my prayers.
⁵ Hearing of thy charity and faith, which thou hast in the Lord Jesus, and towards all the saints:
⁶ That the communication of thy faith may be made evident in the acknowledgment of every good work, that is in you in Christ Jesus.
⁷ For I have had great joy and consolation in thy charity, because the bowels of the saints have been refreshed by thee, brother.
⁸ Wherefore though I have much confidence in Christ Jesus, to command thee that which is to the purpose:
⁹ 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.
¹⁰ I beseech thee for my son, whom I have begotten in my bands, Onesimus,
¹¹ Who hath been heretofore unprofitable to thee, but now is profitable both to me and thee,
¹² Whom I have sent back to thee. And do thou receive him as my own bowels.
¹³ Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered to me in the bands of the gospel:
¹⁴ But without thy counsel I would do nothing: that thy good deed might not be as it were of necessity, but voluntary.
¹⁵ For perhaps he therefore departed for a season from thee, that thou mightest receive him again for ever:
¹⁶ 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?
¹⁷ If therefore thou count me a partner, receive him as myself.
¹⁸ And if he hath wronged thee in any thing, or is in thy debt, put that to my account.
¹⁹ 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.
²⁰ Yea, brother. May I enjoy thee in the Lord. Refresh my bowels in the Lord.
²¹ Trusting in thy obedience, I have written to thee: knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say.
²² But withal prepare me also a lodging. For I hope that through your prayers I shall be given unto you.
²³ There salute thee Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus;
²⁴ Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke my fellow labourers.
²⁵ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.

Chapter 1

¹ Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon our dearly beloved, and fellow-laborer,
² And to our beloved Apphia, and Archippus our fellow-soldier, and to the church in thy house:
³ Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
⁴ I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers,
⁵ Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast towards the Lord Jesus, and towards all saints;
⁶ That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.
⁷ For we have great joy and consolation in thy love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother.
⁸ Wherefore, though I might be very bold in Christ to enjoin thee that which is convenient.
⁹ Yet for love's sake I rather beseech thee, being such one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.
¹⁰ I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds:
¹¹ Who in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now profitable to thee and to me:
¹² Whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive him, that is, my own bowels:
¹³ Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered to me in the bonds of the gospel:
¹⁴ But without thy mind I would do nothing; that thy benefit should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly.
¹⁵ For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldst receive him for ever;
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?
¹⁷ If thou accountest me therefore a partner, receive him as myself.
¹⁸ If he hath wronged thee, or oweth thee aught, put that on my account;
¹⁹ I Paul have written it with my own hand, I will repay it: although I do not say to thee that thou owest to me even thy own self besides.
²⁰ Yes, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord: refresh my bowels in the Lord.
²¹ Having confidence in thy obedience I wrote to thee, knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say.
²² But at the same time prepare me also a lodging; for I trust that through your prayers I shall be given to you.
²³ There salute thee Epaphras, my fellow-prisoner in Christ Jesus;
²⁴ Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas, my fellow-laborers.
²⁵ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.

⁴ thank my God always, making mention of you in my prayers,

¹⁰ beg you for my child, whom I have become the father of in my chains, Onesimus,
¹¹ once was useless to you, but now is useful to you and to me.
¹² am sending him back. Therefore receive him, that is, my own heart,
¹³ I desired to keep with me, that on your behalf he might serve me in my chains for the Good News.
¹⁴ I was willing to do nothing without your consent, that your goodness would not be as of necessity, but of free will.
¹⁵ perhaps he was therefore separated from you for a while, that you would have him forever,
¹⁶ longer as a slave, but more than a slave, a beloved brother, especially to me, but how much rather to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.
¹⁷ then you count me a partner, receive him as you would receive me.
¹⁸ if he has wronged you at all, or owes you anything, put that to my account.
¹⁹ 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).
²⁰ brother, let me have joy from you in the Lord. Refresh my heart in the Lord.
²¹ confidence in your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even beyond what I say.
²² prepare a guest room for me, for I hope that through your prayers I will be restored to you.
²³ my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, greets you,
²⁴ do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers.
²⁵ grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.

Chapter 1

¹ Paul, prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timotheus the brother, to Philemon the beloved and our fellow-workman,
² and to the sister Apphia and to Archippus our fellow-soldier, and to the assembly which [is] in thine house.
³ Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and [the] Lord Jesus Christ.
⁴ I thank my God, always making mention of thee at my prayers,
⁵ hearing of thy love and the faith which thou hast towards the Lord Jesus, and towards all the saints,
⁶ 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].
⁷ For we have great thankfulness and encouragement through thy love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother.
⁸ Wherefore having much boldness in Christ to enjoin thee what is fitting,
⁹ for love's sake I rather exhort, being such a one as Paul the aged, and now also prisoner of Jesus Christ.
¹⁰ I exhort thee for *my* child, whom I have begotten in [my] bonds, Onesimus,
¹¹ once unserviceable to thee, but now serviceable to thee and to me:
¹² whom I have sent back to thee: [but do *thou* receive] him, that is, *my* bowels:
¹³ whom *I* was desirous of keeping with myself, that for thee he might minister to me in the bonds of the glad tidings;
¹⁴ but I have wished to do nothing without thy mind, that thy good might not be as of necessity but of willingness:
¹⁵ for perhaps for this reason he has been separated [from thee] for a time, that thou mightest possess him fully for ever;
¹⁶ 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?
¹⁷ If therefore thou holdest me to be a partner [with thee], receive him as me;
¹⁸ but if he have wronged thee anything or owe anything [to thee], put this to my account.
¹⁹ *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.
²⁰ Yea, brother, *I* would have profit of *thee* in [the] Lord: refresh my bowels in Christ.
²¹ Being confident of thine obedience, I have written to thee, knowing that thou wilt do even more than I say.
²² But withal prepare me also a lodging; for I hope that I shall be granted to you through your prayers.
²³ Epaphras salutes thee, my fellow-prisoner in Christ Jesus;
²⁴ Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, Luke, my fellow-workmen.
²⁵ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with your spirit.

Philemon - basic english

Chapter 1

¹ Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon, our dear helper in the faith,
² And to Apphia, our sister, and to Archippus, our brother in God's army, and to the church in your house:
³ Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
⁴ I give praise to God at all times and make prayer for you,
⁵ Hearing of the love and the faith which you have to the Lord Jesus and to all the saints;
⁶ 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.
⁷ For I had great joy and comfort in your love, because the hearts of the saints have been made strong again through you, brother.
⁸ And so, though I might, in the name of Christ, give you orders to do what is right,
⁹ 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:
¹⁰ My request is for my child Onesimus, the child of my chains,
¹¹ Who in the past was of no profit to you, but now is of profit to you and to me:
¹² Whom I have sent back to you, him who is my very heart:
¹³ Though my desire was to keep him with me, to be my servant in the chains of the good news, in your place:
¹⁴ But without your approval I would do nothing; so that your good works might not be forced, but done freely from your heart.
¹⁵ For it is possible that for this reason he was parted from you for a time, so that you might have him for ever;
¹⁶ 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.
¹⁷ If then you take me to be your friend and brother, take him in as myself.
¹⁸ If he has done you any wrong or is in debt to you for anything, put it to my account.
¹⁹ 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.
²⁰ So brother, let me have joy of you in the Lord: give new life to my heart in Christ.
²¹ 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.
²² And make a room ready for me; for I am hoping that through your prayers I will be given to you.
²³ Epaphras, my brother-prisoner in Christ Jesus, sends you his love;
²⁴ And so do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my brother-workers.
²⁵ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. So be it.
