Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, To Philemon our beloved fellow worker,
1παυλοσ δεσμιοσ χριστου ιησου και τιμοθεοσ ο αδελφοσ φιλημονι τω αγαπητω και συνεργω ημων
2to Apphia our sister, to Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the church that meets at your house:
2και απφια τη αγαπητη και αρχιππω τω συστρατιωτη ημων και τη κατ οικον σου εκκλησια
3Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3χαρισ υμιν και ειρηνη απο θεου πατροσ ημων και κυριου ιησου χριστου
4I always thank my God, remembering you in my prayers,
4ευχαριστω τω θεω μου παντοτε μνειαν σου ποιουμενοσ επι των προσευχων μου
5because I hear about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints.
5ακουων σου την αγαπην και την πιστιν ην εχεισ προσ τον κυριον ιησουν και εισ παντασ τουσ αγιουσ
6I pray that your partnership in the faith may become effective as you fully acknowledge every good thing that is ours in Christ.
6οπωσ η κοινωνια τησ πιστεωσ σου ενεργησ γενηται εν επιγνωσει παντοσ αγαθου του εν ημιν εισ χριστον ιησουν
7I take great joy and encouragement in your love, because you, brother, have refreshed the hearts of the saints.
7χαριν γαρ εχομεν πολλην και παρακλησιν επι τη αγαπη σου οτι τα σπλαγχνα των αγιων αναπεπαυται δια σου αδελφε
8So although in Christ I am bold enough to order you to do what is proper,
8διο πολλην εν χριστω παρρησιαν εχων επιτασσειν σοι το ανηκον
9I prefer to appeal on the basis of love. For I, Paul, am now aged, and a prisoner of Christ Jesus as well.
9δια την αγαπην μαλλον παρακαλω τοιουτοσ ων ωσ παυλοσ πρεσβυτησ νυνι δε και δεσμιοσ ιησου χριστου
10I appeal to you for my child Onesimus, whose father I became while I was in chains.
10παρακαλω σε περι του εμου τεκνου ον εγεννησα εν τοισ δεσμοισ μου ονησιμον
11Formerly he was useless to you, but now he has become useful both to you and to me.
11τον ποτε σοι αχρηστον νυνι δε σοι και εμοι ευχρηστον ον ανεπεμψα
12I am sending back to you him who is my very heart.
12συ δε αυτον τουτ εστιν τα εμα σπλαγχνα προσλαβου
13I would have liked to keep him with me, so that on your behalf he could minister to me in my chains for the gospel.
13ον εγω εβουλομην προσ εμαυτον κατεχειν ινα υπερ σου διακονη μοι εν τοισ δεσμοισ του ευαγγελιου
14But I did not want to do anything without your consent, so that your goodness will not be out of compulsion, but by your own free will.
14χωρισ δε τησ σησ γνωμησ ουδεν ηθελησα ποιησαι ινα μη ωσ κατα αναγκην το αγαθον σου η αλλα κατα εκουσιον
15For perhaps this is why he was separated from you for a while, so that you might have him back for good—
15ταχα γαρ δια τουτο εχωρισθη προσ ωραν ινα αιωνιον αυτον απεχησ
16no longer as a slave, but better than a slave, as a beloved brother. He is especially beloved to me, but even more so to you, both in person and in the Lord.
16ουκετι ωσ δουλον αλλ υπερ δουλον αδελφον αγαπητον μαλιστα εμοι ποσω δε μαλλον σοι και εν σαρκι και εν κυριω
17So if you consider me a partner, receive him as you would receive me.
17ει ουν με εχεισ κοινωνον προσλαβου αυτον ωσ εμε
18But if he has wronged you in any way or owes you anything, charge it to my account.
18ει δε τι ηδικησεν σε η οφειλει τουτο εμοι ελλογει
19I, Paul, write this with my own hand. I will repay it—not to mention that you owe me your very self.
19εγω παυλοσ εγραψα τη εμη χειρι εγω αποτισω ινα μη λεγω σοι οτι και σεαυτον μοι προσοφειλεισ
20Yes, brother, let me have some benefit from you in the Lord. Refresh my heart in Christ.
20ναι αδελφε εγω σου οναιμην εν κυριω αναπαυσον μου τα σπλαγχνα εν κυριω
21Confident of your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even more than I ask.
21πεποιθωσ τη υπακοη σου εγραψα σοι ειδωσ οτι και υπερ ο λεγω ποιησεισ
22In the meantime, prepare a guest room for me, because I hope that through your prayers I will be restored to you.
22αμα δε και ετοιμαζε μοι ξενιαν ελπιζω γαρ οτι δια των προσευχων υμων χαρισθησομαι υμιν
23Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, sends you greetings,
23ασπαζονται σε επαφρασ ο συναιχμαλωτοσ μου εν χριστω ιησου
24as do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers.
24μαρκοσ αρισταρχοσ δημασ λουκασ οι συνεργοι μου
25The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
25η χαρισ του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου μετα του πνευματοσ υμων αμην
