腓利门书
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
问安
1 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, 2 和亚腓亚姊妹,并我们的战友亚基布,以及在你家里的教会。 3 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。 6 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。 7 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
8 我在基督里虽然可以放胆吩咐你作应作的事, 9 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。)
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!

Good News Translation
1 From Paul, a prisoner for the sake of Christ Jesus, and from our brother Timothy—
To our friend and fellow worker Philemon, 2 (A)and the church that meets in your house, and our sister Apphia, and our fellow soldier Archippus:
3 May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace.
Philemon's Love and Faith
4 Brother Philemon, every time I pray, I mention you and give thanks to my God. 5 For I hear of your love for all of God's people and the faith you have in the Lord Jesus. 6 My prayer is that our fellowship with you as believers will bring about a deeper understanding of every blessing which we have in our life in union with Christ. 7 Your love, dear brother, has brought me great joy and much encouragement! You have cheered the hearts of all of God's people.
A Request for Onesimus
8 For this reason I could be bold enough, as your brother in Christ, to order you to do what should be done. 9 But because I love you, I make a request instead. I do this even though I am Paul, the ambassador of Christ Jesus, and at present also a prisoner for his sake.[a] 10 (B)So I make a request to you on behalf of Onesimus, who is my own son in Christ; for while in prison I have become his spiritual father. 11 At one time he was of no use to you, but now he is useful[b] both to you and to me.
12 I am sending him back to you now, and with him goes my heart. 13 I would like to keep him here with me, while I am in prison for the gospel's sake, so that he could help me in your place. 14 However, I do not want to force you to help me; rather, I would like for you to do it of your own free will. So I will not do anything unless you agree.
15 It may be that Onesimus was away from you for a short time so that you might have him back for all time. 16 And now he is not just a slave, but much more than a slave: he is a dear brother in Christ. How much he means to me! And how much more he will mean to you, both as a slave and as a brother in the Lord!
17 So, if you think of me as your partner, welcome him back just as you would welcome me. 18 If he has done you any wrong or owes you anything, charge it to my account. 19 Here, I will write this with my own hand: I, Paul, will pay you back (I should not have to remind you, of course, that you owe your very self to me.) 20 So, my brother, please do me this favor for the Lord's sake; as a brother in Christ, cheer me up!
21 I am sure, as I write this, that you will do what I ask—in fact I know that you will do even more. 22 At the same time, get a room ready for me, because I hope that God will answer the prayers of all of you and give me back to you.
Final Greetings
23 (C)Epaphras, who is in prison with me for the sake of Christ Jesus, sends you his greetings, 24 (D)and so do my co-workers Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke.
25 May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
