腓利门书
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
1 我是为了传扬基督耶稣而被囚禁的保罗，与提摩太弟兄写信给我们亲爱的同工腓利门弟兄、 2 亚腓亚姊妹和我们的战友亚基布，以及在腓利门家里聚会的弟兄姊妹。
3 愿我们的父上帝和主耶稣基督赐给你们恩典和平安！
称赞腓利门
4 腓利门弟兄，我常常在祷告中为你感谢上帝， 5 因为我听说了你对主耶稣的信心和对众圣徒的爱心。 6 我求上帝使你能有效地与人分享信仰，明白我们所做的一切美事都是为了基督。 7 弟兄啊，你的爱心给我带来极大的喜乐和安慰，因为你使众圣徒感到欣慰。
凭爱心求情
8 因此，我尽管可以奉基督的名吩咐你去做当做的事， 9 然而我这上了年纪又为基督耶稣的缘故被囚禁的保罗宁愿凭爱心求你， 10 就是替阿尼西谋[a]求你。他是我在狱中带领归主的属灵儿子， 11 他过去对你没有什么益处，但现在对你对我都有益处。
12 我现在派我深爱的阿尼西谋回你那里。 13 我本想把他留在身边，让他在我为传福音而坐牢期间代替你服侍我。 14 不过，未经你同意，我不愿意这样做，因为我盼望你的善行是出于甘心，而非勉强。 15 或许他暂时离开你是为了让你以后永远得到他。 16 你得到的不再是一个奴隶，而是一位远超过奴隶的亲爱弟兄。对我而言，的确如此，更何况对你呢！就肉身说你们是主仆，但在主里你们是弟兄。
17 如果你当我是同伴，就请你像接纳我一样接纳他。 18 如果他得罪你，或亏欠你什么，都记在我的账上吧。 19 我保罗在此亲笔保证，我必偿还。其实我不说你也知道，连你自己也欠我。
20 弟兄啊，看在主的份上，请你答应我的请求，在基督里让我的心得到安慰吧！ 21 我写信给你，深信你一定会照办，甚至超过我的要求。 22 同时，也请你为我预备住处，因为我盼望借着你们的祷告，我可以蒙恩到你们那里。
问候
23 为了基督耶稣的缘故和我一同坐牢的以巴弗问候你。 24 此外，我的同工马可、亚里达古、底马和路加都问候你。
25 愿我们主耶稣基督的恩典与你们同在。阿们！

Philemon
New Living Translation
Greetings from Paul
1 This letter is from Paul, a prisoner for preaching the Good News about Christ Jesus, and from our brother Timothy.
I am writing to Philemon, our beloved co-worker, 2 and to our sister Apphia, and to our fellow soldier Archippus, and to the church that meets in your[a] house.
3 May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace.
Paul’s Thanksgiving and Prayer
4 I always thank my God when I pray for you, Philemon, 5 because I keep hearing about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all of God’s people. 6 And I am praying that you will put into action the generosity that comes from your faith as you understand and experience all the good things we have in Christ. 7 Your love has given me much joy and comfort, my brother, for your kindness has often refreshed the hearts of God’s people.
Paul’s Appeal for Onesimus
8 That is why I am boldly asking a favor of you. I could demand it in the name of Christ because it is the right thing for you to do. 9 But because of our love, I prefer simply to ask you. Consider this as a request from me—Paul, an old man and now also a prisoner for the sake of Christ Jesus.[b]
10 I appeal to you to show kindness to my child, Onesimus. I became his father in the faith while here in prison. 11 Onesimus[c] hasn’t been of much use to you in the past, but now he is very useful to both of us. 12 I am sending him back to you, and with him comes my own heart.
13 I wanted to keep him here with me while I am in these chains for preaching the Good News, and he would have helped me on your behalf. 14 But I didn’t want to do anything without your consent. I wanted you to help because you were willing, not because you were forced. 15 It seems you lost Onesimus for a little while so that you could have him back forever. 16 He is no longer like a slave to you. He is more than a slave, for he is a beloved brother, especially to me. Now he will mean much more to you, both as a man and as a brother in the Lord.
17 So if you consider me your partner, welcome him as you would welcome me. 18 If he has wronged you in any way or owes you anything, charge it to me. 19 I, PAUL, WRITE THIS WITH MY OWN HAND: I WILL REPAY IT. AND I WON’T MENTION THAT YOU OWE ME YOUR VERY SOUL!
20 Yes, my brother, please do me this favor[d] for the Lord’s sake. Give me this encouragement in Christ.
21 I am confident as I write this letter that you will do what I ask and even more! 22 One more thing—please prepare a guest room for me, for I am hoping that God will answer your prayers and let me return to you soon.
Paul’s Final Greetings
23 Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, sends you his greetings. 24 So do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my co-workers.
25 May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
