腓利门书
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
問安
1 為基督耶穌被囚禁的保羅,和提摩太弟兄,寫信給我們所愛的,又一同作工的腓利門, 2 和亞腓亞姊妹,並我們的戰友亞基布,以及在你家裡的教會。 3 願恩惠平安從我們的父 神和主耶穌基督臨到你們。
稱讚腓利門
4-5 我聽見你對主耶穌和眾聖徒有愛心和信心,我每逢禱告提到你的時候,就常常感謝我的 神。 6 願你與眾人分享你的信心的時候,會產生功效,使我們可以知道在我們中間的一切善事,都是為基督作的。 7 弟兄啊,眾聖徒的心既然從你得到舒暢,我也因你的愛心,得到更大的喜樂和安慰。
為歐尼西慕請求
8 我在基督裡雖然可以放膽吩咐你作應作的事, 9 然而像我這上了年紀的保羅,現在又是為基督耶穌被囚禁的,寧願憑著愛心請求你, 10 就是為我在囚禁時所生的兒子歐尼西慕求你; 11 他從前對你沒有甚麼好處,但現在對你我都有好處。 12 我現在打發他親自回到你那裡去;他是我所心愛的。 13 我本來想把他留在我這裡,使他在我為福音被囚禁時,可以替你服事我。 14 但還沒有得到你的同意,我就不願意這樣作,好叫你的善行不是出於勉強,而是出於甘心。 15 也許他暫時離開你,正是為了使你永遠得著他, 16 不再是奴隸,而是高過奴隸,是親愛的弟兄。對我固然是這樣,對你來說,不論按肉身或在主內的關係,更是這樣。
17 所以,你要是把我看作同伴,就接納他好像接納我一樣。 18 如果他使你受了損失,或欠你甚麼,都記在我的帳上。 19 “我必償還”,這是我保羅親手寫的。用不著我說,甚至你的生命,你也是欠我的。 20 所以弟兄啊!讓我在主裡得到你的幫助,使我的心在基督裡得著暢快。
21 我深信你會聽從,也知道你所作的必超過我所說的,因此才寫信給你。 22 同時,還請你為我預備住的地方,因為我盼望藉著你們的禱告,可以獲得釋放到你們那裡去。
問候的話
23 為基督耶穌的緣故和我一同坐監的以巴弗, 24 以及我的同工馬可、亞里達古、底馬、路加都問候你。 25 願主耶穌基督的恩惠常與你們同在。(“與你們同在”原文作“與你們的心靈同在”;好些抄本在這書末有“阿們”一詞。)

1 Paul, prisonnier de Jésus Christ, et le frère Timothée, à Philémon, notre bien-aimé et notre compagnon d'oeuvre,
2 à la soeur Apphia, à Archippe, notre compagnon de combat, et à l'Église qui est dans ta maison:
3 que la grâce et la paix vous soient données de la part de Dieu notre Père et du Seigneur Jésus Christ!
4 Je rends continuellement grâces à mon Dieu, faisant mention de toi dans mes prières,
5 parce que je suis informé de la foi que tu as au Seigneur Jésus et de ta charité pour tous les saints.
6 Je lui demande que ta participation à la foi soit efficace pour la cause de Christ, en faisant reconnaître en nous toute espèce de bien.
7 J'ai, en effet, éprouvé beaucoup de joie et de consolation au sujet de ta charité; car par toi, frère, le coeur des saints a été tranquillisé.
8 C'est pourquoi, bien que j'aie en Christ toute liberté de te prescrire ce qui est convenable,
9 c'est de préférence au nom de la charité que je t'adresse une prière, étant ce que je suis, Paul, vieillard, et de plus maintenant prisonnier de Jésus Christ.
10 Je te prie pour mon enfant, que j'ai engendré étant dans les chaînes, Onésime,
11 qui autrefois t'a été inutile, mais qui maintenant est utile, et à toi et à moi.
12 Je te le renvoie lui, mes propres entrailles.
13 J'aurais désiré le retenir auprès de moi, pour qu'il me servît à ta place, pendant que je suis dans les chaînes pour l'Évangile.
14 Toutefois, je n'ai rien voulu faire sans ton avis, afin que ton bienfait ne soit pas comme forcé, mais qu'il soit volontaire.
15 Peut-être a-t-il été séparé de toi pour un temps, afin que tu le recouvres pour l'éternité,
16 non plus comme un esclave, mais comme supérieur à un esclave, comme un frère bien-aimé, de moi particulièrement, et de toi à plus forte raison, soit dans la chair, soit dans le Seigneur.
17 Si donc tu me tiens pour ton ami, reçois-le comme moi-même.
18 Et s'il t'a fait quelque tort, ou s'il te doit quelque chose, mets-le sur mon compte.
19 Moi Paul, je l'écris de ma propre main, -je paierai, pour ne pas te dire que tu te dois toi-même à moi.
20 Oui, frère, que j'obtienne de toi cet avantage, dans le Seigneur; tranquillise mon coeur en Christ.
21 C'est en comptant sur ton obéissance que je t'écris, sachant que tu feras même au delà de ce que je dis.
22 En même temps, prépare-moi un logement, car j'espère vous être rendu, grâce à vos prières.
23 Épaphras, mon compagnon de captivité en Jésus Christ,
24 te salue, ainsi que Marc, Aristarque, Démas, Luc, mes compagnons d'oeuvre.
25 Que la grâce de notre Seigneur Jésus Christ soit avec votre esprit!
Philemon
King James Version
1 Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy our brother, unto Philemon our dearly beloved, and fellowlabourer,
2 And to our beloved Apphia, and Archippus our fellowsoldier, 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 toward the Lord Jesus, and toward 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 much bold in Christ 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 Jesus Christ.
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 gospel:
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 the Lord?
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 the Lord: refresh my bowels in the Lord.
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 Christ Jesus;
24 Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas, my fellowlabourers.
25 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
Philemon
New King James Version
Greeting
1 Paul, a (A)prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother,
To Philemon our beloved friend and fellow laborer, 2 to [a]the beloved Apphia, (B)Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the church in your house:
3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Philemon’s Love and Faith
4 (C)I thank my God, making mention of you always in my prayers, 5 (D)hearing of your love and faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints, 6 that the sharing of your faith may become effective (E)by the acknowledgment of (F)every good thing which is in [b]you in Christ Jesus. 7 For we [c]have great [d]joy and [e]consolation in your love, because the [f]hearts of the saints have been refreshed by you, brother.
The Plea for Onesimus
8 Therefore, though I might be very bold in Christ to command you what is fitting, 9 yet for love’s sake I rather appeal to you—being such a one as Paul, the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ— 10 I appeal to you for my son (G)Onesimus, whom I have begotten while in my chains, 11 who once was unprofitable to you, but now is profitable to you and to me.
12 I am sending him [g]back. You therefore receive him, that is, my own [h]heart, 13 whom I wished to keep with me, that on your behalf he might minister to me in my chains for the gospel. 14 But without your consent I wanted to do nothing, (H)that your good deed might not be by compulsion, as it were, but voluntary.
15 For perhaps he departed for a while for this purpose, that you might receive him forever, 16 no longer as a slave but more than a slave—a beloved brother, especially to me but how much more to you, both in the (I)flesh and in the Lord.
Philemon’s Obedience Encouraged
17 If then you count me as a partner, receive him as you would me. 18 But if he has wronged you or owes anything, put that on my account. 19 I, Paul, am writing with my own (J)hand. I will repay—not to mention to you that you owe me even your own self besides. 20 Yes, brother, let me have joy from you in the Lord; refresh my heart in the Lord.
21 (K)Having confidence in your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even more than I say. 22 But, meanwhile, also prepare a guest room for me, for (L)I trust that (M)through your prayers I shall be granted to you.
Farewell
23 (N)Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, greets you, 24 as do (O)Mark, (P)Aristarchus, (Q)Demas, (R)Luke, my fellow laborers.
25 (S)The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
