Приветствие

От Павлуса, осуждённого за веру в Исо Масеха[a], и от брата Тиметея.

Дорогому нашему соработнику Филимону, сестре Апфии[b] и соратнику[c] нашему Архиппу[d], а также общине верующих, которая встречается в твоём доме.

Благодать и мир вам[e] от Всевышнего, нашего Небесного Отца, и от Повелителя Исо Масеха.

Благодарность и молитва за Филимона

Я всегда в молитвах благодарю Бога моего за тебя, так как до меня доходят слухи о твоей вере в Повелителя Исо и о твоей любви ко всем Его последователям. Я молюсь о том, чтобы вера, общая для нас обоих, привела тебя к более глубокому познанию всего того доброго, что мы обретаем в единении с Масехом. Меня очень радует и утешает твоя любовь, ведь благодаря тебе, брат, успокоились сердца верующих.

Просьба об Онисиме

Поэтому, хотя я как посланник Масеха мог бы смело потребовать от тебя исполнить твой долг, я предпочитаю обратиться к тебе не с требованием, а с просьбой, потому что люблю тебя. Я, Павлус, посол Исо Масеха, а теперь ещё и заключённый за веру в Него,[f] 10 прошу тебя проявить милость к Онисиму, который здесь, пока я в заключении, стал мне сыном.[g] 11 Может быть, раньше он и был для тебя бесполезным, но сейчас он оправдывает своё имя, став полезным и тебе, и мне.[h]

12 Я посылаю его обратно к тебе, и для меня это всё равно, что отделить часть самого себя. 13 Я очень хотел бы оставить его при себе, чтобы он вместо тебя помогал мне здесь в темнице, куда я заключён за возвещение Радостной Вести. 14 Но я не хочу ничего делать без твоего согласия. Хотелось бы, чтобы твоя доброта была проявлена не по долгу, но по желанию. 15 Ведь, может быть, твой раб отсутствовал у тебя некоторое время для того, чтобы возвратиться к тебе навсегда, 16 теперь уже не как раб, а больше чем раб – как дорогой брат. Он очень дорог мне, и я верю, что ещё дороже он станет тебе и как работник, и как последователь Масеха.

17 Итак, если ты считаешь меня своим сотоварищем, то прими его так, как принял бы меня. 18 Если он обидел тебя чем-то или же должен тебе – считай этот долг за мной. 19 Я, Павлус, пишу тебе своей рукой, что оплачу тебе все его долги. Не будем уже говорить о том, что ты и сам мне должен, ты обязан мне самим собой.[i] 20 Поэтому, брат, окажи мне услугу ради Повелителя и обрадуй меня этим как брат по вере в Масеха.

21 Пишу тебе с уверенностью, что ты не только откликнешься на мою просьбу, но и сделаешь больше, чем я прошу.

22 И ещё одно. Приготовь, пожалуйста, для меня комнату, так как я надеюсь, что благодаря вашим молитвам я скоро буду возвращён вам.

Заключительные приветствия

23 Привет тебе передают Эпафрас, который тоже находится в заключении за веру в Исо Масеха, 24 и мои соработники: Марк, Аристарх, Димас и Луко.

25 Пусть благодать Повелителя Исо Масеха будет с вашим духом.

Paul, a prisoner(A) of Christ Jesus, and Timothy(B) our brother,(C)

To Philemon our dear friend and fellow worker(D) also to Apphia our sister and Archippus(E) our fellow soldier(F)—and to the church that meets in your home:(G)

Grace and peace to you[a] from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.(H)

Thanksgiving and Prayer

I always thank my God(I) as I remember you in my prayers,(J) because I hear about your love for all his holy people(K) and your faith in the Lord Jesus.(L) I pray that your partnership with us in the faith may be effective in deepening your understanding of every good thing we share for the sake of Christ. Your love has given me great joy and encouragement,(M) because you, brother, have refreshed(N) the hearts of the Lord’s people.

Paul’s Plea for Onesimus

Therefore, although in Christ I could be bold and order you to do what you ought to do, yet I prefer to appeal to you(O) on the basis of love. It is as none other than Paul—an old man and now also a prisoner(P) of Christ Jesus— 10 that I appeal to you for my son(Q) Onesimus,[b](R) who became my son while I was in chains.(S) 11 Formerly he was useless to you, but now he has become useful both to you and to me.

12 I am sending him—who is my very heart—back to you. 13 I would have liked to keep him with me so that he could take your place in helping me while I am in chains(T) for the gospel. 14 But I did not want to do anything without your consent, so that any favor you do would not seem forced(U) but would be voluntary. 15 Perhaps the reason he was separated from you for a little while was that you might have him back forever— 16 no longer as a slave,(V) but better than a slave, as a dear brother.(W) He is very dear to me but even dearer to you, both as a fellow man and as a brother in the Lord.

17 So if you consider me a partner,(X) welcome him as you would welcome me. 18 If he has done you any wrong or owes you anything, charge it to me.(Y) 19 I, Paul, am writing this with my own hand.(Z) I will pay it back—not to mention that you owe me your very self. 20 I do wish, brother, that I may have some benefit from you in the Lord; refresh(AA) my heart in Christ. 21 Confident(AB) of your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even more than I ask.

22 And one thing more: Prepare a guest room for me, because I hope to be(AC) restored to you in answer to your prayers.(AD)

23 Epaphras,(AE) my fellow prisoner(AF) in Christ Jesus, sends you greetings. 24 And so do Mark,(AG) Aristarchus,(AH) Demas(AI) and Luke, my fellow workers.(AJ)

25 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.(AK)

Greeting

Paul, a (A)prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother,

To Philemon our beloved friend and fellow laborer, to [a]the beloved Apphia, (B)Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the church in your house:

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Philemon’s Love and Faith

(C)I thank my God, making mention of you always in my prayers, (D)hearing of your love and faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints, that the sharing of your faith may become effective (E)by the acknowledgment of (F)every good thing which is in [b]you in Christ Jesus. For we [c]have great [d]joy and [e]consolation in your love, because the [f]hearts of the saints have been refreshed by you, brother.

The Plea for Onesimus

Therefore, though I might be very bold in Christ to command you what is fitting, yet for love’s sake I rather appeal to you—being such a one as Paul, the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ— 10 I appeal to you for my son (G)Onesimus, whom I have begotten while in my chains, 11 who once was unprofitable to you, but now is profitable to you and to me.

12 I am sending him [g]back. You therefore receive him, that is, my own [h]heart, 13 whom I wished to keep with me, that on your behalf he might minister to me in my chains for the gospel. 14 But without your consent I wanted to do nothing, (H)that your good deed might not be by compulsion, as it were, but voluntary.

15 For perhaps he departed for a while for this purpose, that you might receive him forever, 16 no longer as a slave but more than a slave—a beloved brother, especially to me but how much more to you, both in the (I)flesh and in the Lord.

Philemon’s Obedience Encouraged

17 If then you count me as a partner, receive him as you would me. 18 But if he has wronged you or owes anything, put that on my account. 19 I, Paul, am writing with my own (J)hand. I will repay—not to mention to you that you owe me even your own self besides. 20 Yes, brother, let me have joy from you in the Lord; refresh my heart in the Lord.

21 (K)Having confidence in your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even more than I say. 22 But, meanwhile, also prepare a guest room for me, for (L)I trust that (M)through your prayers I shall be granted to you.

Farewell

23 (N)Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, greets you, 24 as do (O)Mark, (P)Aristarchus, (Q)Demas, (R)Luke, my fellow laborers.

25 (S)The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.

Greeting

Paul, (A)a prisoner for Christ Jesus, and (B)Timothy our brother,

To Philemon our beloved fellow worker and Apphia our sister and (C)Archippus our (D)fellow soldier, and (E)the church in your house:

(F)Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Philemon's Love and Faith

(G)I thank my God always when I remember you in my prayers, because I (H)hear of your love and (I)of the faith that you have toward the Lord Jesus and for all the saints, and I pray that the sharing of your faith may become effective for the full (J)knowledge of every good thing that is in us for the sake of Christ.[a] For I have derived much joy and (K)comfort from your love, my brother, because the hearts of the saints (L)have been refreshed through you.

Paul's Plea for Onesimus

Accordingly, (M)though I am bold enough in Christ to command you to do (N)what is required, yet for love's sake I prefer to appeal to you—I, Paul, an old man and now (O)a prisoner also for Christ Jesus— 10 I appeal to you for (P)my child, (Q)Onesimus,[b] (R)whose father I became in my imprisonment. 11 (Formerly he was useless to you, but now he is indeed useful to you and to me.) 12 I am sending him back to you, sending my very heart. 13 I would have been glad to keep him with me, in order that he might serve me (S)on your behalf (T)during my imprisonment for the gospel, 14 but I preferred to do nothing without your consent in order that your goodness might not be (U)by compulsion but of your own accord. 15 For this perhaps is why (V)he was parted from you for a while, that you might have him back forever, 16 (W)no longer as a bondservant[c] but more than a bondservant, as (X)a beloved brother—especially to me, but how much more to you, (Y)both in the flesh and in the Lord.

17 So if you consider me (Z)your partner, receive him as you would receive me. 18 If he has wronged you at all, or owes you anything, charge that to my account. 19 (AA)I, Paul, write this with my own hand: I will repay it—to say nothing of your owing me even your own self. 20 Yes, brother, I want some benefit from you in the Lord. (AB)Refresh my heart in Christ.

21 (AC)Confident of your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even more than I say. 22 At the same time, prepare a guest room for me, for (AD)I am hoping that (AE)through your prayers (AF)I will be graciously given to you.

Final Greetings

23 (AG)Epaphras, my (AH)fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, sends greetings to you, 24 and so do (AI)Mark, (AJ)Aristarchus, (AK)Demas, and (AL)Luke, my fellow workers.

25 (AM)The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
