腓利门书
Revised Chinese Union Version (Simplified Script) Shen Edition
问候
1 为基督耶稣被囚的保罗,同弟兄提摩太,写信给我们所亲爱的同工腓利门、 2 亚腓亚姊妹,和我们的战友亚基布,以及在你家里的教会。 3 愿恩惠、平安[a]从我们的父 神和主耶稣基督归给你们!
腓利门的爱心和信心
4 我在祷告中记念你的时候,常为你感谢我的 神, 5 因听说你对众圣徒的爱心,和你对主耶稣的信心。 6 愿你与人分享信心的时候,能产生功效,让人知道我们[b]所行的各样善事都是为基督做的。 7 弟兄啊,由于你的爱心,我得到极大的快乐和安慰,因为众圣徒的心从你得到舒畅。
保罗为阿尼西谋请求
8 虽然我靠着基督能放胆吩咐你做该做的事, 9 可是像我这上了年纪的保罗,现在又是为基督耶稣被囚的,宁可凭着爱心求你, 10 就是为我在捆锁中所生的儿子阿尼西谋[c]求你。 11 从前他与你没有益处,但如今与你我都有益处。 12 我现在打发他回到你那里去,他是我心肝。 13 我本来有意将他留下,在我为福音所受的捆锁中替你伺候我。 14 但不知道你的意见,我不愿意这样做,好使你的善行不是出于勉强,而是出于自愿。 15 他暂时离开你,也许是要让你永远得着他, 16 不再是奴隶,而是高过奴隶,是亲爱的弟兄;对我确实如此,何况对你呢!无论在肉身或在主里更是如此。
17 所以,你若以我为同伴,就接纳他,如同接纳我一样。 18 他若亏负你,或欠你什么,都算在我的账上吧, 19 我必偿还。这是我—保罗亲笔写的。我并不用对你说,甚至你自己也亏欠我呢! 20 弟兄啊,希望你使我在主里因你得益处,让我的心在基督里得到舒畅。
21 我写信给你,深信你必顺服,知道你所要做的,必过于我所说的。 22 此外,还请给我预备住处,因为我盼望藉着你们的祷告,必蒙恩回到你们那里去。
最后的问安
23 为基督耶稣与我一同坐监的以巴弗问候你。 24 我的同工马可、亚里达古、底马、路加也都问候你。 25 愿[d]主耶稣基督的恩与你们的灵同在。[e]
Philemon
Worldwide English (New Testament)
1 I am Paul. I am in prison because I belong to Christ Jesus. Our brother Timothy and I send greetings to you, Philemon. We love you very much. And you work with us.
2 We also send greetings to our sister Apphia; to Archippus who is worker in God's army as we are; and to the people who meet as a church in your house.
3 May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ bless you in their kindness and give you peace.
4 I always thank my God when I talk to him about you.
5 I have heard that you love all of God's people and that you believe in our Lord Jesus Christ.
6 You believe as I do. I ask God that he may help you to know more and more of every good thing that we have in Christ.
7 My brother, your love made me very glad and it comforted my heart. I know that God's people were glad because you loved them.
8 Because I am Christ's apostle, I could tell you what you must do.
9 But because I love you, I would rather not tell you, but ask you to do this for me. I, Paul, am an old man and now I am in prison because I belong to Jesus Christ.
10 I am asking you to do something for my son. He became a Christian here in prison. This son is Onesimus.
11 At one time he was no help to you. But now he is a big help to you and to me.
12 I am sending him back to you and it is like sending you my own heart.
13 I would like to keep him with me. He can help me while I am in prison for the sake of the good news. That would be just as if you were here to help me.
14 But I did not want to do anything unless you agreed. I did not want you to do this because you were forced to do it, but because you wanted to do it.
15 Maybe it was good for him to be away from you for a while. Now you will have him with you for ever.
16 Now he is not like a slave who must work for you. He is better than a slave. He is a Christian brother and you will love him. I love him very much. But you will love him even more because he belongs to you and he is a Christian.
17 So if you think of me as a real friend, take him back just as you would take me back.
18 If he has done you any wrong, or if he owes you a debt, then ask me to pay it.
19 I, Paul, write this with my own hand. I will repay it. I do not need to tell you that you have your life because of what I did for you.
20 Yes, my brother, give me some help in the Lord. Make me happy in Christ.
21 I believe that you will do what I ask you to do. And so I am writing to you. I know that you will do even more than I ask you to do.
22 At the same time, please make a place ready for me to stay. I know you are asking God to set me free, so I believe he will let me come to see you.
23 Epaphras is in prison with me for the sake of Christ Jesus. He sends greetings to you.
24 Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke are working with me. They all send greetings too.
25 May the loving kindness of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen! May it be so!
