Phm 1 (King James)

¹ Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy our brother, unto Philemon our dearly beloved, and fellowlabourer,
² And to our beloved Apphia, and Archippus our fellowsoldier, and to the church in thy house:
³ Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
⁴ I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers,
⁵ Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints;
⁶ That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.
⁷ For we have great joy and consolation in thy love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother.
⁸ Wherefore, though I might be much bold in Christ to enjoin thee that which is convenient,
⁹ Yet for love's sake I rather beseech thee, being such an one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.
¹⁰ I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds:
¹¹ Which in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now profitable to thee and to me:
¹² Whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive him, that is, mine own bowels:
¹³ Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered unto me in the bonds of the gospel:
¹⁴ But without thy mind would I do nothing; that thy benefit should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly.
¹⁵ For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receive him for ever;
¹⁶ Not now as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved, specially to me, but how much more unto thee, both in the flesh, and in the Lord?
¹⁷ If thou count me therefore a partner, receive him as myself.
¹⁸ If he hath wronged thee, or oweth thee ought, put that on mine account;
¹⁹ I Paul have written it with mine own hand, I will repay it: albeit I do not say to thee how thou owest unto me even thine own self besides.
²⁰ Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord: refresh my bowels in the Lord.
²¹ Having confidence in thy obedience I wrote unto thee, knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say.
²² But withal prepare me also a lodging: for I trust that through your prayers I shall be given unto you.
²³ There salute thee Epaphras, my fellowprisoner in Christ Jesus;
²⁴ Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas, my fellowlabourers.
²⁵ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.

Phm 1 (Vulgate)

¹ Paulus vinctus Christi Jesu, et Timotheus frater, Philemoni dilecto, et adjutori nostro,
² et Appiæ sorori carissimæ, et Archippo commilitoni nostro, et ecclesiæ, quæ in domo tua est.
³ Gratia vobis, et pax a Deo Patre nostro, et Domino Jesu Christo.
⁴ Gratias ago Deo meo, semper memoriam tui faciens in orationibus meis,
⁵ audiens caritatem tuam, et fidem, quam habes in Domino Jesu, et in omnes sanctos :
⁶ ut communicatio fidei tuæ evidens fiat in agnitione omnis operis boni, quod est in vobis in Christo Jesu.
⁷ Gaudium enim magnum habui, et consolationem in caritate tua : quia viscera sanctorum requieverunt per te, frater.
⁸ Propter quod multam fiduciam habens in Christo Jesu imperandi tibi quod ad rem pertinet :
⁹ propter caritatem magis obsecro, cum sis talis, ut Paulus senex, nunc autem et vinctus Jesu Christi :
¹⁰ obsecro te pro meo filio, quem genui in vinculis, Onesimo,
¹¹ qui tibi aliquando inutilis fuit, nunc autem et mihi et tibi utilis,
¹² quem remisi tibi. Tu autem illum, ut mea viscera, suscipe :
¹³ quem ego volueram mecum detinere, ut pro te mihi ministraret in vinculis Evangelii :
¹⁴ sine consilio autem tuo nihil volui facere, uti ne velut ex necessitate bonum tuum esset, sed voluntarium.
¹⁵ Forsitan enim ideo discessit ad horam a te, ut æternum illum reciperes :
¹⁶ jam non ut servum, sed pro servo carissimum fratrem, maxime mihi : quanto autem magis tibi et in carne, et in Domino ?
¹⁷ Si ergo habes me socium, suscipe illum sicut me :
¹⁸ si autem aliquid nocuit tibi, aut debet, hoc mihi imputa.
¹⁹ Ego Paulus scripsi mea manu : ego reddam, ut non dicam tibi, quod et teipsum mihi debes :
²⁰ ita, frater. Ego te fruar in Domino : refice viscera mea in Domino.
²¹ Confidens in obedientia tua scripsi tibi : sciens quoniam et super id, quod dico, facies.
²² Simul autem et para mihi hospitium : nam spero per orationes vestras donari me vobis.
²³ Salutat te Epaphras concaptivus meus in Christo Jesu,
²⁴ Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, et Lucas, adjutores mei.
²⁵ Gratia Domini nostri Jesu Christi cum spiritu vestro. Amen.
