 katapi NEW STUDY BIBLEPhilemon:1 Novum Testamentum Graece (UBS.Ed.26)  

1 Paul, a prisoner for Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother,
To Philemon our beloved fellow worker
Salutation Phm.1.1-3Παῦλος
δέσμιος Χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ
καὶ Τιμόθεος ὁ ἀδελφὸς

Φιλήμονι τῷ ἀγαπητῷ καὶ συνεργῷ ἡμῶν

2 and Apphia our sister and Archippus our fellow soldier, and the church in your house:
 καὶ Ἀπφίᾳ τῇ ἀδελφῇ καὶ Ἀρχίππῳ τῷ συστρατιώτῃ ἡμῶν καὶ τῇ κατ' οἶκόν σου ἐκκλησίᾳ·
3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.  χάρις ὑμῖν καὶ εἰρήνη ἀπὸ θεοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν καὶ κυρίου Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ.
4 I thank my God always when I remember you in my prayers, Philemon's Love and Faith Phm.1.4-7Εὐχαριστῶ τῷ θεῷ μου πάντοτε μνείαν σου ποιούμενος ἐπὶ τῶν προσευχῶν μου,
5 because I hear of your love and of the faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus and all the saints,  ἀκούων σου τὴν ἀγάπην καὶ τὴν πίστιν ἣν ἐχεις πρὸς τὸν κύριον Ἰησοῦν καὶ εἰς πάντας τοὺς ἀγίους,
6 and I pray that the sharing of your faith may promote the knowledge of all the good that is ours in Christ.  ὁπως ἡ κοινωνία τῆς πίστεώς σου ἐνεργὴς γένηται ἐν ἐπιγνώσει παντὸς ἀγαθοῦ τοῦ ἐν ἡμῖν εἰς Χριστόν·
7 For I have derived much joy and comfort from your love, my brother, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you.  χαρὰν γὰρ πολλὴν ἐσχον καὶ παράκλησιν ἐπὶ τῇ ἀγάπῃ σου, ὅτι τὰ σπλάγχνα τῶν ἀγίων ἀναπέπαυται διὰ σοῦ, ἀδελφέ.
8 Accordingly, though I am bold enough in Christ to command you to do what is required, Paul Pleads for Onesimus Phm.1.8-22Διό, πολλὴν ἐν Χριστῷ παρρησίαν ἐχων ἐπιτάσσειν σοι τὸ ἀνῆκον,
9 yet for love's sake I prefer to appeal to you - I, Paul, an ambassador and now a prisoner also for Christ Jesus -  διὰ τὴν ἀγάπην μᾶλλον παρακαλῶ, τοιοῦτος ὢν ὡς Παῦλος πρεσβύτης, νυνὶ δὲ καὶ δέσμιος Χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ -
10 I appeal to you for my child, Onesimus, whose father I have become in my imprisonment.  παρακαλῶ σε περὶ τοῦ ἐμοῦ τέκνου, ὃν ἐγέννησα ἐν τοῖς δεσμοῖς Ὀνήσιμον,
11 (Formerly he was useless to you, but now he is indeed useful to you and to me.)  τόν ποτέ σοι ἀχρηστον νυνὶ δὲ [καὶ] σοὶ καὶ ἐμοὶ εὐχρηστον,
12 I am sending him back to you, sending my very heart.  ὃν ἀνέπεμψά σοι, αὐτόν, τοῦτ' ἐστιν τὰ ἐμὰ σπλάγχνα·
13 I would have been glad to keep him with me, in order that he might serve me on your behalf during my imprisonment for the gospel;  ὃν ἐγὼ ἐβουλόμην πρὸς ἐμαυτὸν κατέχειν, ἵνα ὑπὲρ σοῦ μοι διακονῇ ἐν τοῖς δεσμοῖς τοῦ εὐαγγελίου,
14 but I preferred to do nothing without your consent in order that your goodness might not be by compulsion but of your own free will.  χωρὶς δὲ τῆς σῆς γνώμης οὐδὲν ἠθέλησα ποιῆσαι, ἵνα μὴ ὡς κατὰ ἀνάγκην τὸ ἀγαθόν σου ᾖ ἀλλὰ κατὰ ἑκούσιον.
15 Perhaps this is why he was parted from you for a while, that you might have him back for ever,  τάχα γὰρ διὰ τοῦτο ἐχωρίσθη πρὸς ὡραν ἵνα αἰώνιον αὐτὸν ἀπέχῃς,
16 no longer as a slave but more than a slave, as a beloved brother, especially to me but how much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.  οὐκέτι ὡς δοῦλον ἀλλ' ὑπὲρ δοῦλον, ἀδελφὸν ἀγαπητόν, μάλιστα ἐμοί, πόσῳ δὲ μᾶλλον σοὶ καὶ ἐν σαρκὶ καὶ ἐν κυρίῳ.
17 So if you consider me your partner, receive him as you would receive me.  Εἰ οὖν με ἐχεις κοινωνόν, προσλαβοῦ αὐτὸν ὡς ἐμέ.
18 If he has wronged you at all, or owes you anything, charge that to my account.  εἰ δέ τι ἠδίκησέν σε ἢ ὀφείλει, τοῦτο ἐμοὶ ἐλλόγα·
19 I, Paul, write this with my own hand, I will repay it - to say nothing of your owing me even your own self.  ἐγὼ Παῦλος ἐγραψα τῇ ἐμῇ χειρί, ἐγὼ ἀποτίσω· ἵνα μὴ λέγω σοι ὅτι καὶ σεαυτόν μοι προσοφείλεις.
20 Yes, brother, I want some benefit from you in the Lord. Refresh my heart in Christ.  ναί, ἀδελφέ, ἐγώ σου ὀναίμην ἐν κυρίῳ· ἀνάπαυσόν μου τὰ σπλάγχνα ἐν Χριστῷ.
21 Confident of your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even more than I say.  Πεποιθὼς τῇ ὑπακοῇ σου ἐγραψά σοι, εἰδὼς ὅτι καὶ ὑπὲρ ἂ λέγω ποιήσεις.
22 At the same time, prepare a guest room for me, for I am hoping through your prayers to be granted to you.  ἀμα δὲ καὶ ἑτοίμαζέ μοι ξενίαν, ἐλπίζω γὰρ ὅτι διὰ τῶν προσευχῶν ὑμῶν χαρισθήσομαι ὑμῖν.
23 Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, sends greetings to you, Final Greetings Phm.1.23-3.25Ἀσπάζεταί σε Ἐπαφρᾶς ὁ συναιχμάλωτός μου ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ,
24 and so do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers.  Μᾶρκος, Ἀρίσταρχος, Δημᾶς, Λουκᾶς, οἱ συνεργοί μου.
25 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.  Ἡ χάρις τοῦ κυρίου Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ μετὰ τοῦ πνεύματος ὑμῶν.

Notes: This webpage enables you to select-a-version from the Bible versions held on the katapi bible database.
The katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE is a very light revision of the RSV. The changes are: (1) In places where 'the LORD', 'O LORD' occurs in the RSV, (it represents the tetragrammaton - YHWH - which is in the hebrew text), I have printed 'YHWH' in black. The later vowel sounds I have shown in the colour gray;
(2) I have removed the quotation marks and hyphens that were used in so many names in the RSV as an aid to correct pronunciation. This now brings it in line with all other English versions, and makes any word-search more accurate.
(3) I have changed all (I hope!) of the RSV archaic language sections to modern.

The katapi New Study Bible reference section displays links to parallel passages, and to direct quotations by New Testament authors to Old Testament passages. Quotations of OT passages by NT authors can in most cases be viewed within their context of the OT passage as a whole, with the quoted text displayed, against a subdued background. Any mismatches, truncated verses, other mistakes? Please e-mail me.
