1Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy, a brother: to Philemon, our beloved and fellow labourer;
2ⲛⲉⲙ ⲁⲡⲫⲓⲁ ϯⲥⲱⲛⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲁⲣⲭⲓⲡⲡⲟⲥ ⲡⲉⲛ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲧⲟⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ϯⲉⲕ⳿ⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲏⲓ.
2And to Appia, our dearest sister, and to Archippus, our fellow soldier, and to the church which is in thy house:
3⳿ⲡ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲙ ⳿ⲧϩⲓⲣⲏⲛⲏ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲫϯ ⲡⲉⲛⲓⲱⲧ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲉⲛ⳪ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
3Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
4ϯϣⲉⲡ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛ ⲡⲁⲛⲟⲩϯ ⳿ⲛⲥⲏⲟⲩ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲓ⳿⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲕⲙⲉⲩⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲁⲡⲣⲟⲥⲉⲩⲭⲏ.
4I give thanks to my God, always making a remembrance of thee in my prayers.
5ⲁⲓⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲧⲉⲕⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲉⲕⲛⲁϩϯ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲛⲧⲁⲕ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡ⳪ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲁⲅⲓⲟⲥ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ.
5Hearing of thy charity and faith, which thou hast in the Lord Jesus, and towards all the saints:
6ϩⲟⲡⲱⲥ ϯⲙⲉⲧ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲕⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲉⲥⲉⲣϩⲱⲃ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡⲥⲟⲩⲉⲛ ⲁⲅⲁⲑⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲉⲧϧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲉⲠⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
6That the communication of thy faith may be made evident in the acknowledgment of every good work, that is in you in Christ Jesus.
7ⲁⲓϭⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲛⲓϣϯ ⳿ⲛⲣⲁϣⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲛⲟⲙϯ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲧⲉⲕⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲙⲉⲧϣⲁⲛ⳿ⲑⲙⲁϧⲧ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲁⲅⲓⲟⲥ ⲁⲩ⳿ⲙⲧⲟⲛ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲧⲕ ⲡⲓⲥⲟⲛ.
7For I have had great joy and consolation in thy charity, because the bowels of the saints have been refreshed by thee, brother.
8ⲉⲑⲃⲉⲫⲁⲓ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲏⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲛⲓϣϯ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲣⲣⲏⲥⲓⲁ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡ⳪ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲁϩⲥⲁϩⲛⲓ ⲛⲁⲕ ⳿ⲛⲛⲏⲉⲧ⳿ⲥϣⲉ.
8Wherefore though I have much confidence in Christ Jesus, to command thee that which is to the purpose:
9ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⳿ⲧⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲙⲁⲗⲗⲟⲛ ϯϯϩⲟ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲕ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ϩⲱ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲡⲓϧⲉⲗⲗⲟⲓ ϯ ⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲥⲟⲛϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅.
9For charity sake I rather beseech, whereas thou art such a one, as Paul an old man, and now a prisoner also of Jesus Christ.
10ϯϯϩⲟ ⲉⲣⲟⲕ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲡⲁϣⲏⲣⲓ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲁⲓ⳿ϫⲫⲟϥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲁ⳿ⲥⲛⲁⲩϩ ⲟⲛⲏⲥⲓⲙⲟⲥ.
10I beseech thee for my son, whom I have begotten in my bands, Onesimus,
11ⲫⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲛⲁϥⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲁⲧϣⲁⲩ ⲛⲁⲕ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲏ ⲟⲩ ϯⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⳿ϥⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛϣⲁⲩ ⲛⲏⲓ ⲛⲉⲙⲁⲕ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲁⲓⲟⲩⲟⲣⲡϥ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲕ.
11Who hath been heretofore unprofitable to thee, but now is profitable both to me and thee,
12⳿ⲛⲑⲟⲕ ⲇⲉ ϣⲟⲡϥ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲕ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲁⲙⲉⲧϣⲁⲛ⳿ⲑⲙⲁϧⲧ.
12Whom I have sent back to thee. And do thou receive him as my own bowels.
13ⲫⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲛⲁⲓⲟⲩⲱϣ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲁⲙⲟⲛⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϧⲁⲧⲟⲧ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥϣⲉⲙϣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲕϣⲉⲃⲓⲱ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲥⲛⲁⲩϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ.
13Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered to me in the bands of the gospel:
14ⲁϭⲛⲉ ⲧⲉⲕ⳿ⲅⲛⲱⲙⲏ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲟⲩⲱϣ ⳿ⲉⲉⲣ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙ ⲡⲉⲕⲡⲉⲑⲛⲁⲛⲉϥ ϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲟⲩⲁⲛⲁⲅⲕⲏ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲣⲱⲟⲩⲧϥ ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ.
14But without thy counsel I would do nothing: that thy good deed might not be as it were of necessity, but voluntary.
15ⲧⲁⲭⲁ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲑⲃⲉⲫⲁⲓ ⲁϥⲫⲱⲣϫ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲕ ⳿ⲡⲣⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲕϭⲓⲧϥ ⳿ⲛⲉⲛⲉϩ.
15For perhaps he therefore departed for a season from thee, that thou mightest receive him again for ever:
16⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲃⲱⲕ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲟⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲉⲛⲣⲓⲧ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲟⲧ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲃⲱⲕ ⲙⲁⲗⲓⲥⲧⲁ ⲛⲏⲓ ⲁⲩⲏⲣ ϫⲉ ⲙⲁⲗⲗⲟⲛ ⲛⲁⲕ ⲛⲉⲙ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲧⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲛⲉⲙ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡ⳪.
16Not now as a servant, but instead of a servant, a most dear brother, especially to me: but how much more to thee both in the flesh and in the Lord?
17ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲛ ϯ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲧⲕ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩ⳿ϣⲫⲏ ⲣ ϣⲟⲡϥ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲕ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ.
17If therefore thou count me a partner, receive him as myself.
18ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥϭⲓⲧⲕ ⳿ⲛϫⲟⲛⲥ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⲓⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲟⲡϥ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲓ.
18And if he hath wronged thee in any thing, or is in thy debt, put that to my account.
19⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲁⲓ⳿ⲥϧⲁⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲧⲁϫⲓϫ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲉⲑⲛⲁⲧⲱⲃ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙϫⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲕ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲕⲉⲣⲟⲕ ⳿ⲙⲙⲓⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲕ ⳿ⲉⲧⲏⲓⲕ ⲛⲏⲓ.
19I Paul have written it with my own hand: I will repay it: not to say to thee, that thou owest me thy own self also.
20ⲁϩⲁ ⲡⲁⲥⲟⲛ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲉⲓ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲙⲧⲟⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧⲕ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡ⳪ ⲙⲁ⳿ⲙⲧⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛⲛⲁⲙⲉⲧϣⲁⲛ⳿ⲑⲙⲁϧⲧ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
20Yea, brother. May I enjoy thee in the Lord. Refresh my bowels in the Lord.

21Trusting in thy obedience, I have written to thee: knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say.

22But withal prepare me also a lodging. For I hope that through your prayers I shall be given unto you.
