prisoner of ,christ ,jesus1 and ,timothy
 our brother1          to ,philemon1 our
 beloved fellow worker1  #jja3jjb to the
 beloved ,apphia1 to ,archippus1 our    
fellow soldier1          and to the     
assembly in your house3  #jja3jjc ,grace
 to you and peace from ,god our ,father 
and the ,lord ,jesus ,christ4  #jja3jjd 
,i thank my ,god always1 making mention 
of you in my prayers1  #jja3jje hearing 
of your love1 and of the faith which you
 have toward          the ,lord ,jesus1 
and toward all the saints2  #jja3jjf    
that the fellowship of your faith may   
become effective1          in the       
knowledge of every good thing which is  
in us          in ,christ ,jesus4       
#jja3jjg ,for we have much joy and      
comfort in your love1 because the hearts
          of the saints have been       
refreshed through you1 brother4         
#jja3jjh ,therefore1 though ,i have all 

boldness in ,christ to command          
you that which is appropriate1  #jja3jji
 yet for love's sake ,i rather beg1     
being such a one as ,paul1          the 
aged1 but also a prisoner of ,jesus     
,christ4  #jja3jaj ,i beg you for my    
child1 whom ,i have become the father of
 in          my chains1                 
,onesimus1,onesimus means useful4       
#jja3jaa who once was useless to you1   
but now is useful to you and to me4     
#jja3jab ,i am sending him back4        
,therefore receive him1 that is1        
my own heart1  #jja3jac whom ,i desired 
to keep with me1 that on your behalf he 
might          serve me in my chains for
 the ,good ,news4  #jja3jad ,but ,i was 
willing to do nothing without your      
consent1 that your          goodness    
would not be as of necessity1 but of    
free will4  #jja3jae ,for perhaps he was
 therefore separated from you for a     
while1          that you would have him 
forever1  #jja3jaf no longer as a slave1
 but more than a slave1 a beloved       

brother1          especially to me1 but 
how much rather to you1 both in the     
flesh          and in the ,lord4        
#jja3jag ,if then you count me a        
partner1 receive him as you would       
receive me4  #jja3jah ,but if he has    
wronged you at all1 or owes you         
anything1          put that to my       
account4  #jja3jai ,i1 ,paul1 write this
 with my own hand3  ,i will repay it    
7not to mention to you that you owe to  
me even your          own self besides74
  #jja3jbj ,yes1 brother1 let me have   
joy from you in the ,lord4              
,refresh my heart in the ,lord4         
#jja3jba ,having confidence in your     
obedience1 ,i write to you1             
knowing that you will do even beyond    
what ,i say4  #jja3jbb ,also1 prepare a 
guest room for me1 for ,i hope that     
through          your prayers ,i will be
 restored to you4  #jja3jbc ,epaphras1  
my fellow prisoner in ,christ ,jesus1   
greets you1  #jja3jbd as do ,mark1      
,aristarchus1 ,demas1 and ,luke1 my     

fellow workers4  #jja3jbe ,the grace of 
our ,lord ,jesus ,christ be with your
