<p><strong>1</strong> I, Paul, am writing this letter. I am a prisoner because of Christ Jesus. Our brother Timothy joins me in writing. Philemon, we are sending you this letter. You are our dear friend. You work together with us. </p> <p><strong>2</strong> We are also sending it to our sister Apphia and to Archippus. He is a soldier of Christ together with us. And we are sending it to the church that meets in your home. </p> <p><strong>3</strong> May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace. </p> <p><strong>4</strong> I always thank my God when I remember you in my prayers. </p> <p><strong>5</strong> That’s because I hear about your love for all God’s people. I also hear about your faith in the Lord Jesus. </p> <p><strong>6</strong> I pray that what we share by believing will help you understand even more. Then you will completely understand every good thing we share by believing in Christ. </p> <p><strong>7</strong> Your love has given me great joy. It has encouraged me. My brother, you have renewed the hearts of the Lord’s people. </p> <p><strong>8</strong> Because of the authority Christ has given me, I could be bold. I could order you to do what you should do anyway. </p> <p><strong>9</strong> But we love each other. And I would rather appeal to you on the basis of that love. I, Paul, am an old man. I am now also a prisoner because of Christ Jesus. </p> <p><strong>10</strong> I am an old man, and I’m in prison. This is how I make my appeal to you for my son Onesimus. He became a son to me while I was being held in chains. </p> <p><strong>11</strong> Before that, he was useless to you. But now he has become useful to you and to me. </p> <p><strong>12</strong> I’m sending Onesimus back to you. All my love for him goes with him. </p> <p><strong>13</strong> I’m being held in chains because of the good news. So I would have liked to keep Onesimus with me. And he could take your place in helping me. </p> <p><strong>14</strong
