问安

为基督耶稣被囚禁的保罗,和提摩太弟兄,写信给我们所爱的,又一同作工的腓利门, 和亚腓亚姊妹,并我们的战友亚基布,以及在你家里的教会。 愿恩惠平安从我们的父 神和主耶稣基督临到你们。

称赞腓利门

4-5 我听见你对主耶稣和众圣徒有爱心和信心,我每逢祷告提到你的时候,就常常感谢我的 神。 愿你与众人分享你的信心的时候,会产生功效,使我们可以知道在我们中间的一切善事,都是为基督作的。 弟兄啊,众圣徒的心既然从你得到舒畅,我也因你的爱心,得到更大的喜乐和安慰。

为欧尼西慕请求

我在基督里虽然可以放胆吩咐你作应作的事, 然而像我这上了年纪的保罗,现在又是为基督耶稣被囚禁的,宁愿凭着爱心请求你, 10 就是为我在囚禁时所生的儿子欧尼西慕求你; 11 他从前对你没有甚么好处,但现在对你我都有好处。 12 我现在打发他亲自回到你那里去;他是我所心爱的。 13 我本来想把他留在我这里,使他在我为福音被囚禁时,可以替你服事我。 14 但还没有得到你的同意,我就不愿意这样作,好叫你的善行不是出于勉强,而是出于甘心。 15 也许他暂时离开你,正是为了使你永远得着他, 16 不再是奴隶,而是高过奴隶,是亲爱的弟兄。对我固然是这样,对你来说,不论按肉身或在主内的关系,更是这样。

17 所以,你要是把我看作同伴,就接纳他好象接纳我一样。 18 如果他使你受了损失,或欠你甚么,都记在我的帐上。 19 “我必偿还”,这是我保罗亲手写的。用不着我说,甚至你的生命,你也是欠我的。 20 所以弟兄啊!让我在主里得到你的帮助,使我的心在基督里得着畅快。

21 我深信你会听从,也知道你所作的必超过我所说的,因此才写信给你。 22 同时,还请你为我预备住的地方,因为我盼望借着你们的祷告,可以获得释放到你们那里去。

问候的话

23 为基督耶稣的缘故和我一同坐监的以巴弗, 24 以及我的同工马可、亚里达古、底马、路加都问候你。 25 愿主耶稣基督的恩惠常与你们同在。(“与你们同在”原文作“与你们的心灵同在”;好些抄本在这书末有“阿们”一词。)

我,保罗,为了基督耶稣的缘故成为囚徒,和我们的兄弟提摩太, 写信给我们亲爱的朋友和同事腓利门, 以及我们的姐妹亚腓亚、和我们的战友亚基布及在你们家相聚的教会。

愿我们的父上帝和我主耶稣基督的恩典与和平属于你们。

腓利门的爱与信仰

我在祈祷中提起你时,总是感谢上帝, 因为我听说了你对主耶稣的爱和信仰,以及你对所有上帝子民的爱。 我祈祷你和我们共同享有的信仰能引导你充分理解我们在基督里所有的好事。 你的爱使我感到欢欣鼓舞,因为通过你的努力,上帝子民的心振作起来了。

待阿尼西母为兄弟

尽管做为在基督里你的兄弟,我可以毫无顾忌地命令你履行职责, 但我情愿在爱的基础上请求你。我,保罗,一个上了年纪的人,为了基督耶稣,现在成了囚徒。 10 我对你的请求是为了我的儿子阿尼西母,我在狱中时做了他的父亲。 11 过去他对你没有什么用处,但现在他不仅对你有用,对我也有用。 [a]

12 我派他回到你那里去(应该说派他去那里就是派我的心去了那里)。 13 我本想把他留在我身边,让他能够在我为福音坐牢时代表你为我服务。 14 但我不愿未经你同意做任何事,以便你的善行不是出于勉强,而是出于自愿。

15 也许让他暂时离开你的原因是为了让他永远和你在一起, 16 让他不再做为奴隶,而是比奴隶强。你要把他当做亲爱的兄弟。我很爱他,你会更爱他,不仅做为一个人爱他,而是要把他做为主内的兄弟爱他。

17 因此,如果你确实把我当成伙伴,请像欢迎我一样地欢迎他。 18 如果他亏待你或亏欠你什么东西,就请把这一切都记在我的账上。 19 我,保罗,亲笔写下∶“我会偿还你.”(我不必告诉你,你欠我的是你的生命。) 20 所以,兄弟,我请求你在主内为我做些事情,在基督里振奋我的内心。 21 我相信你会听从我,我才给你写这封信,我知道你做的会远远超过我所要求的。

22 还有,请给我准备一间客房。我相信上帝会回答你们的祷告,让我平安地回到你们那里。

最后的问候

23 在基督耶稣里与我一起坐牢的以巴弗问你好。 24 我的同事马可、亚里达古、底马和路加也问你好!

25 愿主耶稣基督的恩典与你们的精神同在!

  1. 腓 利 門 書 1:11 保罗在此用阿尼西母的名字做了一个游戏,此名意为有用。

From: Sha’ul, a prisoner for the sake of the Messiah Yeshua, and brother Timothy

To: Our dear fellow-worker Philemon, along with sister Apphia, our fellow-soldier Archippus and the congregation that gathers in your home:

Grace and shalom to you from God our Father and the Lord Yeshua the Messiah.

I thank my God every time I mention you in my prayers, Philemon, for I am hearing about your love and commitment to the Lord Yeshua and to all God’s people. I pray that the fellowship based on your commitment will produce full understanding of every good thing that is ours in union with the Messiah. For your love has given me much joy and encouragement. Brother, you have refreshed the hearts of God’s people.

Therefore, I would not hesitate, in union with the Messiah, to direct you to do the thing you ought to do. But since I Sha’ul, am the kind of person I am, an old man and now for the Messiah Yeshua’s sake a prisoner besides, I prefer to appeal to you on the basis of love. 10 My request to you concerns my son, of whom I became the father while here in prison, Onesimus. 11 His name means “useful,” and although he was once useless to you, he has now become most useful — not only to you but also to me; 12 so that in returning him to you I am sending a part of my very heart. 13 I would dearly have loved to keep him with me, in order for him to serve me in your place while I am in prison because of the Good News. 14 But I didn’t want to do anything without your consent, so that the good you do for me may be voluntary and not forced.

15 Perhaps the reason he was separated from you for a brief period was so that you could have him back forever, 16 no longer as a slave but as more than a slave, as a dear brother. And that he is, especially to me. But how much dearer he must be to you, both humanly and in union with the Lord!

17 So if you are in fellowship with me, receive him as you would me. 18 And if he has wronged you in any way or owes you anything, charge it to me.

19 I, Sha’ul, write with my own hand. I will repay it.

(I won’t mention, of course, that you owe me your very life.) 20 Yes, brother, please do me this favor in the Lord; refresh my heart in the Messiah.

21 Trusting that you will respond positively, I write knowing that you will indeed do more than I am asking.

22 One more thing: please get a room ready for me. For I hope that through the prayers of you all God will give me a chance to visit you.

23 Epaphras, my fellow-prisoner for the sake of the Messiah Yeshua, sends greetings to you, 24 as do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas and Luke, my fellow-workers.

25 The grace of the Lord Yeshua the Messiah be with your spirit.
