Greeting
1 Paul,(A) a prisoner(B) of Christ Jesus,(C) and Timothy(D) our brother:
To Philemon our dear friend and coworker, 2 to Apphia our sister,[a] to Archippus(E) our fellow soldier,(F) and to the church that meets in your home.(G)
3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Philemon’s Love and Faith
4 I always thank my God when I mention you in my prayers, 5 because I hear of your love(H) for all the saints and the faith that you have in the Lord Jesus. 6 I pray that your participation in the faith may become effective(I) through knowing every good thing(J) that is in us[b] for the glory of Christ. 7 For I have great joy and encouragement from your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed(K) through you, brother.
An Appeal for Onesimus
8 For this reason, although I have great boldness in Christ to command you to do what is right, 9 I appeal to you, instead, on the basis of love. I, Paul, as an elderly man[c] and now also as a prisoner(L) of Christ Jesus, 10 appeal to you for my son,(M) Onesimus.[d](N) I became his father(O) while I was in chains. 11 Once he was useless to you, but now he is useful both to you and to me. 12 I am sending him back to you—I am sending my very own heart.[e][f] 13 I wanted to keep him with me, so that in my imprisonment for the gospel he might serve me in your place. 14 But I didn’t want to do anything without your consent, so that your good deed might not be out of obligation, but of your own free will. 15 For perhaps this is why he was separated from you for a brief time, so that you might get him back permanently, 16 no longer as a slave, but more than a slave—as a dearly loved brother. He is especially so to me, but how much more to you, both in the flesh(P) and in the Lord.(Q)
17 So if you consider me a partner, welcome(R) him as you would me. 18 And if he has wronged you in any way, or owes you anything, charge that to my account.(S) 19 I, Paul, write this with my own hand:(T) I will repay it—not to mention to you that you owe me even your very self. 20 Yes, brother, may I benefit from you in the Lord; refresh my heart in Christ. 21 Since I am confident of your obedience, I am writing to you, knowing that you will do even more than I say. 22 Meanwhile, also prepare a guest room for me, since I hope that through your prayers I will be restored to you.
Final Greetings
23 Epaphras,(U) my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, sends you greetings, and so do 24 Mark,(V) Aristarchus,(W) Demas, and Luke,(X) my coworkers.
25 The grace of the Lord[g](Y) Jesus Christ be with your spirit.(Z)

Pagbati
1 Mula kay Pablo, bilanggo dahil kay Cristo Jesus, at mula kay Timoteo na ating kapatid,
Para kay Filemon na minamahal naming kaibigan at kamanggagawa, 2 at (A) kay Apia na kapatid nating babae, at kay Arquipo na ating kapwa kawal, at sa iglesyang nagtitipon sa iyong bahay: 3 Sumaiyo nawa ang biyaya at kapayapaang mula sa Diyos na ating Ama at sa Panginoong Jesu-Cristo.
Ang Pag-ibig at Pananampalataya ni Filemon
4 Lagi akong nagpapasalamat sa aking Diyos tuwing isinasama kita sa aking mga dalangin, 5 sapagkat nababalitaan ko ang pag-ibig na ipinapakita mo sa lahat ng mga banal at ang iyong pananampalataya sa Panginoong Jesus. 6 Idinadalangin kong ang pamamahagi mo ng iyong pananampalataya ay maging mabisa upang lubos mong maunawaan ang mga kabutihang dulot ng ating pakikipag-isa kay Cristo. 7 Kapatid, nagdulot sa akin ng malaking kagalakan at aliw ang iyong pag-ibig, sapagkat dahil sa iyo'y nabuhayan ng loob ang mga banal.
Nakiusap si Pablo para kay Onesimo
8 Kaya naman, bagama't dahil kay Cristo ay maaari kitang utusan ng dapat mong gawin, 9 mas minabuti kong makiusap sa iyo dahil sa pag-ibig. Akong si Pablo, ngayo'y matanda na at nakabilanggo pa dahil kay Cristo Jesus, 10 ay (B) nakikiusap sa iyo para sa aking anak na si Onesimo na naging anak ko nang ako'y nasa bilangguan. 11 Noon ay hindi ka nakinabang sa kanya, ngunit ngayo'y malaking tulong siya sa iyo at sa akin. 12 Pinababalik ko siya sa iyo, kasama ang aking sariling kalooban. 13 Ibig ko sanang manatili siya dito sa piling ko upang maglingkod sa akin bilang iyong kapalit habang ako'y nakabilanggo dahil sa ebanghelyo. 14 Ngunit ayaw kong gumawa ng anuman na wala kang pahintulot, upang maging bukal sa loob ang iyong kabutihan, at hindi sapilitan. 15 Marahil ito ang dahilan kung bakit nahiwalay siya sa iyo nang sandali, upang sa pagbabalik niya'y makasama mo siya habang panahon, 16 hindi na bilang alipin kundi higit pa sa isang alipin, bilang isang minamahal na kapatid. Napamahal na siya sa akin, ngunit lalo na sa iyo, hindi lang bilang tao kundi bilang kapatid sa Panginoon.
17 Kaya't kung itinuturing mo ako bilang katuwang, tanggapin mo siya na parang ako ang tinatanggap mo. 18 Kung siya ma'y nagkasala sa iyo, o may anumang pagkakautang, ako na lang ang singilin mo. 19 Kamay ko mismo ang sumusulat nito: akong si Pablo ang magbabayad sa iyo. Alalahanin mo lamang na utang mo sa akin ang iyong sarili. 20 Oo, kapatid ko, nais kong tulungan mo ako alang-alang sa Panginoon. Pasiglahin mo naman ang loob ko alang-alang kay Cristo.
21 Sinulatan kita dahil nagtitiwala akong gagawin mo ang hinihiling ko, at maaaring higit pa roon ang gagawin mo! 22 Ipaghanda mo na rin ako ng matutuluyan, sapagkat umaasa ako na sa pamamagitan ng inyong mga panalangin ay maibabalik ako sa inyo.
Pangwakas na Pagbati
23 Binabati (C) ka ni Epafras na kasama kong bilanggo dahil kay Cristo Jesus. 24 Binabati (D) ka rin nina Marcos, Aristarco, Demas, at Lucas na aking mga kamanggagawa. 25 Ang biyaya ng Diyos ang sumainyong lahat. Amen.

1 Paul, a prisoner(A) of Christ Jesus, and Timothy(B) our brother,(C)
To Philemon our dear friend and fellow worker(D)— 2 also to Apphia our sister and Archippus(E) our fellow soldier(F)—and to the church that meets in your home:(G)
3 Grace and peace to you[a] from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.(H)
Thanksgiving and Prayer
4 I always thank my God(I) as I remember you in my prayers,(J) 5 because I hear about your love for all his holy people(K) and your faith in the Lord Jesus.(L) 6 I pray that your partnership with us in the faith may be effective in deepening your understanding of every good thing we share for the sake of Christ. 7 Your love has given me great joy and encouragement,(M) because you, brother, have refreshed(N) the hearts of the Lord’s people.
Paul’s Plea for Onesimus
8 Therefore, although in Christ I could be bold and order you to do what you ought to do, 9 yet I prefer to appeal to you(O) on the basis of love. It is as none other than Paul—an old man and now also a prisoner(P) of Christ Jesus— 10 that I appeal to you for my son(Q) Onesimus,[b](R) who became my son while I was in chains.(S) 11 Formerly he was useless to you, but now he has become useful both to you and to me.
12 I am sending him—who is my very heart—back to you. 13 I would have liked to keep him with me so that he could take your place in helping me while I am in chains(T) for the gospel. 14 But I did not want to do anything without your consent, so that any favor you do would not seem forced(U) but would be voluntary. 15 Perhaps the reason he was separated from you for a little while was that you might have him back forever— 16 no longer as a slave,(V) but better than a slave, as a dear brother.(W) He is very dear to me but even dearer to you, both as a fellow man and as a brother in the Lord.
17 So if you consider me a partner,(X) welcome him as you would welcome me. 18 If he has done you any wrong or owes you anything, charge it to me.(Y) 19 I, Paul, am writing this with my own hand.(Z) I will pay it back—not to mention that you owe me your very self. 20 I do wish, brother, that I may have some benefit from you in the Lord; refresh(AA) my heart in Christ. 21 Confident(AB) of your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even more than I ask.
22 And one thing more: Prepare a guest room for me, because I hope to be(AC) restored to you in answer to your prayers.(AD)
23 Epaphras,(AE) my fellow prisoner(AF) in Christ Jesus, sends you greetings. 24 And so do Mark,(AG) Aristarchus,(AH) Demas(AI) and Luke, my fellow workers.(AJ)
25 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.(AK)

1 Paavali, Kristuksen Jeesuksen vanki, ja veli Timoteus rakkaalle Filemonille, työtoverillemme,
2 ja Appialle, sisarellemme, ja Arkippukselle, taistelutoverillemme, ja sinun kodissasi kokoontuvalle seurakunnalle.
3 Armo teille ja rauha Jumalalta, meidän Isältämme, ja Herralta Jeesukselta Kristukselta!
4 Minä kiitän Jumalaani aina, muistaessani sinua rukouksissani,
5 sillä minä olen kuullut sinun rakkaudestasi ja uskostasi, joka sinulla on Herraan Jeesukseen ja kaikkia pyhiä kohtaan;
6 ja rukoukseni on, että sinun uskosi, se usko, joka on meille yhteinen, olisi väkevä kaiken hyvän tuntemisessa, mikä meillä Kristuksessa on.
7 Sillä minä olen saanut paljon iloa ja lohdutusta sinun rakkaudestasi, koska pyhien sydämet ovat virvoittuneet sinun kauttasi, veljeni.
8 Sentähden, vaikka minulla Kristuksessa on paljon rohkeutta käskeä sinua tekemään, mitä tehdä tulee,
9 niin rakkauden tähden minä kuitenkin mieluummin pyydän, ollen tämmöinen kuin olen, minä vanha Paavali, ja nyt myös Kristuksen Jeesuksen vanki -
10 pyydän sinua poikani puolesta, jonka minä kahleissani synnytin, Onesimuksen puolesta,
11 sinulle ennen hyödyttömän, mutta nyt sekä sinulle että minulle hyödyllisen;
12 hänet minä lähetän sinulle takaisin, hänet, se on: oman sydämeni.
13 Olisin tahtonut pidättää hänet tykönäni, että hän sinun sijassasi olisi palvellut minua, joka olen evankeliumin tähden kahleissa;
14 mutta ilman sinun suostumustasi en tahtonut tehdä mitään, ettei hyvyytesi olisi ikäänkuin pakollinen, vaan vapaaehtoinen.
15 Sillä ehkäpä hän sentähden joutui eroamaan sinusta ajaksi, että saisit hänet takaisin iäksi,
16 ei enää orjana, vaan orjaa enempänä: rakkaana veljenä, ylen rakkaana jo minulle, kuinka paljoa enemmän sitten sinulle, sekä ihmisenä että Herran omana!
17 Jos siis pidät minua toverinasi, niin ota hänet luoksesi niinkuin minut;
18 mutta jos hän on tehnyt sinulle jotakin vääryyttä tai on sinulle jotakin velkaa, niin pane se minun laskuuni.
19 Minä, Paavali, kirjoitan omalla kädelläni: "Minä sen maksan"; saattaisinpa sanoa: pane se omaan laskuusi; sillä sinä olet minulle velkaa oman itsesikin.
20 Niin, veljeni, jospa saisin sinusta hyötyä Herrassa; virvoita sydäntäni Kristuksessa.
21 Luottaen kuuliaisuuteesi minä kirjoitan sinulle, ja minä tiedän, että sinä teet enemmänkin, kuin mitä sanon.
22 Lisäksi vielä: valmista minulle maja luonasi; toivon näet, että minut rukoustenne kautta lahjoitetaan teille.
23 Tervehdyksen lähettävät sinulle Epafras, minun vankitoverini Kristuksessa Jeesuksessa,
24 Markus, Aristarkus, Deemas ja Luukas, jotka ovat minun työtovereitani.
25 Herran Jeesuksen Kristuksen armo olkoon teidän henkenne kanssa.
