Philemon 1 - Israeli Authorized Version1 Paul, a prisoner of Y'shuw`a HaMoshiach, and Timothy our brother, unto Philemon our dearly beloved, and fellowlabourer, 2 And to our beloved Apphia, and Archippus our fellowsoldier, and to the Congregation in thy house: 3 Grace to you, and shalom, from Elohim our Father and the Lord Y'shuw`a HaMoshiach. 4 I thank my Elohim, making mention of thee always in my prayers, 5 Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Y'shuw`a, and toward all holy ones; 6 That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Moshiach Y'shuw`a. 7 For we have great joy and consolation in thy love, because the bowels of the holy ones are refreshed by thee, brother. 8 Wherefore, though I might be much bold in Moshiach to enjoin thee that which is convenient, 9 Yet for love's sake I rather beseech thee, being such an one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Y'shuw`a HaMoshiach. 10 I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds: 11 Which 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, mine own bowels: 13 Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered unto me in the bonds of the good news: 14 But without thy mind would I 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 shouldest receive him for ever; 16 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 YY ? 17 If thou count me therefore a partner, receive him as myself. 18 If he hath wronged thee, or oweth thee ought, put that on mine account; 19 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. 20 Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in YY : refresh my bowels in YY . 21 Having confidence in thy obedience I wrote unto thee, knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say. 22 But withal prepare me also a lodging: for I trust that through your prayers I shall be given unto you. 23 There salute thee Epaphras, my fellowprisoner in Moshiach Y'shuw`a; 24 Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas, my fellowlabourers. 25 The grace of our Lord Y'shuw`a HaMoshiach be with your spirit. Amen. |
