Philemon

(Webster's changes iare in red; Schofield's, in blue)

Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy our brother, unto Philemon our dearly beloved, and fellowlabourer/fellolaborer/fellow worker,
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/fellowship 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/hearts 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/fitting,

⁹ Yet for love's sake I rather beseech thee, being such an/("an" omitted)/a 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/Who/Who 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/heart:

¹³ Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered unto/to 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/aught/anything, put that on mine/my account;

¹⁹ I Paul have written it with mine/my/mine own hand, I will repay it: albeit I do not say to thee how thou owest unto me even thine/thy own self besides.

²⁰ Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord: refresh my bowels/heart 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/But at the same time/At the same time prepare me also a lodging: for I trust that through your prayers I shall be given unto you.

²³ There salute/greet thee Epaphras, my fellowprisoner in Christ Jesus;

²⁴ Marcus/Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas/Luke, my fellowlabourers/fellow workers.

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