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。)
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
Holman Christian Standard Bible
Greeting
Paul,(A) a prisoner(B) of Christ Jesus,(C) and Timothy(D) our brother:
To Philemon our dear friend and coworker, 2 to Apphia our sister,[a] to Archippus(E) our fellow soldier,(F) and to the church that meets in your home.(G)
3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Philemon’s Love and Faith
4 I always thank my God when I mention you in my prayers, 5 because I hear of your love(H) and faith toward[b] the Lord Jesus and for all the saints. 6 I pray that your participation in the faith may become effective(I) through knowing every good thing(J) that is in us[c] for the glory of Christ. 7 For I have great joy and encouragement from your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed(K) through you, brother.
An Appeal for Onesimus
8 For this reason, although I have great boldness in Christ to command you to do what is right, 9 I appeal to you, instead, on the basis of love. I, Paul, as an elderly man[d] and now also as a prisoner(L) of Christ Jesus, 10 appeal to you for my son,(M) Onesimus.[e](N) I fathered[f](O) him while I was in chains. 11 Once he was useless to you, but now he is useful both to you and to me. 12 I am sending him back to you as a part of myself.[g][h] 13 I wanted to keep him with me, so that in my imprisonment for the gospel he might serve me in your place. 14 But I didn’t want to do anything without your consent, so that your good deed might not be out of obligation, but of your own free will. 15 For perhaps this is why he was separated from you for a brief time, so that you might get him back permanently, 16 no longer as a slave, but more than a slave—as a dearly loved brother. He is especially so to me, but even more to you, both in the flesh(P) and in the Lord.[i](Q)
17 So if you consider me a partner, accept(R) him as you would me. 18 And if he has wronged you in any way, or owes you anything, charge that to my account.(S) 19 I, Paul, write this with my own hand:(T) I will repay it—not to mention to you that you owe me even your own self. 20 Yes, brother, may I have joy from you in the Lord; refresh my heart in Christ. 21 Since I am confident of your obedience, I am writing to you, knowing that you will do even more than I say. 22 But meanwhile, also prepare a guest room for me, for I hope that through your prayers I will be restored to you.
Final Greetings
23 Epaphras,(U) my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, greets you, and so do 24 Mark,(V) Aristarchus,(W) Demas, and Luke,(X) my coworkers.
25 The grace of the Lord[j](Y) Jesus Christ be with your spirit.(Z)
