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 the beloved Apphia, to Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the assembly in your house:
2και απφια τη αγαπητη και αρχιππω τω συστρατιωτη ημων και τη κατ οικον σου εκκλησια
3Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3χαρισ υμιν και ειρηνη απο θεου πατροσ ημων και κυριου ιησου χριστου
4I thank my God always, making mention of you in my prayers,
4ευχαριστω τω θεω μου παντοτε μνειαν σου ποιουμενοσ επι των προσευχων μου
5hearing of your love and of the faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints,
5ακουων σου την αγαπην και την πιστιν ην εχεισ προσ τον κυριον ιησουν και εισ παντασ τουσ αγιουσ
6that the fellowship of your faith may become effective in the knowledge of every good thing which is in us in Christ Jesus.
6οπωσ η κοινωνια τησ πιστεωσ σου ενεργησ γενηται εν επιγνωσει παντοσ αγαθου του εν ημιν εισ χριστον ιησουν
7For we have much joy and comfort in your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you, brother.
7χαριν γαρ εχομεν πολλην και παρακλησιν επι τη αγαπη σου οτι τα σπλαγχνα των αγιων αναπεπαυται δια σου αδελφε
8Therefore though I have all boldness in Christ to command you that which is appropriate,
8διο πολλην εν χριστω παρρησιαν εχων επιτασσειν σοι το ανηκον
9yet for love’s sake I rather appeal to you, being such a one as Paul, the aged, but also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.
9δια την αγαπην μαλλον παρακαλω τοιουτοσ ων ωσ παυλοσ πρεσβυτησ νυνι δε και δεσμιοσ ιησου χριστου
10I appeal to you for my child Onesimus, whom I have become the father of in my chains,
10παρακαλω σε περι του εμου τεκνου ον εγεννησα εν τοισ δεσμοισ μου ονησιμον
11who once was useless to you, but now is useful to you and to me.
11τον ποτε σοι αχρηστον νυνι δε σοι και εμοι ευχρηστον ον ανεπεμψα
12I am sending him back. Therefore receive him, that is, my own heart,
12συ δε αυτον τουτ εστιν τα εμα σπλαγχνα προσλαβου
13whom I desired to keep with me, that on your behalf he might serve me in my chains for the Good News.
13ον εγω εβουλομην προσ εμαυτον κατεχειν ινα υπερ σου διακονη μοι εν τοισ δεσμοισ του ευαγγελιου
14But I was willing to do nothing without your consent, that your goodness would not be as of necessity, but of free will.
14χωρισ δε τησ σησ γνωμησ ουδεν ηθελησα ποιησαι ινα μη ωσ κατα αναγκην το αγαθον σου η αλλα κατα εκουσιον
15For perhaps he was therefore separated from you for a while that you would have him forever,
15ταχα γαρ δια τουτο εχωρισθη προσ ωραν ινα αιωνιον αυτον απεχησ
16no longer as a slave, but more than a slave, a beloved brother—especially to me, but how much rather to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.
16ουκετι ωσ δουλον αλλ υπερ δουλον αδελφον αγαπητον μαλιστα εμοι ποσω δε μαλλον σοι και εν σαρκι και εν κυριω
17If then you count 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 at all or owes you anything, put that 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 to you that you owe to me even your own self besides).
19εγω παυλοσ εγραψα τη εμη χειρι εγω αποτισω ινα μη λεγω σοι οτι και σεαυτον μοι προσοφειλεισ
20Yes, brother, let me have joy from you in the Lord. Refresh my heart in the Lord.
20ναι αδελφε εγω σου οναιμην εν κυριω αναπαυσον μου τα σπλαγχνα εν κυριω
21Having confidence in your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even beyond what I say.
21πεποιθωσ τη υπακοη σου εγραψα σοι ειδωσ οτι και υπερ ο λεγω ποιησεισ
22Also, prepare a guest room for me, for 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, greets you,
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 our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
25η χαρισ του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου μετα του πνευματοσ υμων αμην
