빌레몬서 1장 [NIV]

빌레몬서 1장 [KJV]

1. 1 Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, To Philemon our dear friend and fellow worker,

   1 Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy [our] brother, unto Philemon our dearly beloved, and fellowlabourer,

2. 2 to Apphia our sister, to Archippus our fellow soldier and to the church that meets in your home:

   2 And to [our] beloved Apphia, and Archippus our fellowsoldier, and to the church in thy house:

3. 3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

   3 Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

4. 4 I always thank my God as I remember you in my prayers,

   4 I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers,

5. 5 because I hear about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints.

   5 Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints;

6. 6 I pray that you may be active in sharing your faith, so that you will have a full understanding of every good thing we have in Christ.

   6 That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.

7. 7 Your love has given me great joy and encouragement, because you, brother, have refreshed the hearts of the saints.

   7 For we have great joy and consolation in thy love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother.

8. 8 Therefore, although in Christ I could be bold and order you to do what you ought to do,

   8 Wherefore, though I might be much bold in Christ to enjoin thee that which is convenient,

9. 9 yet I appeal to you on the basis of love. I then, as Paul--an old man and now also a prisoner of Christ Jesus--

   9 Yet for love's sake I rather beseech [thee], being such an one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.

10. 10 I appeal to you for my son Onesimus, who became my son while I was in chains.

    10 I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds:

11. 11 Formerly he was useless to you, but now he has become useful both to you and to me.

    11 Which in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now profitable to thee and to me:

12. 12 I am sending him--who is my very heart--back to you.

    12 Whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive him, that is, mine own bowels:

13. 13 I would have liked to keep him with me so that he could take your place in helping me while I am in chains for the gospel.

    13 Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered unto me in the bonds of the gospel:

14. 14 But I did not want to do anything without your consent, so that any favor you do will be spontaneous and not forced.

    14 But without thy mind would I do nothing; that thy benefit should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly.

15. 15 Perhaps the reason he was separated from you for a little while was that you might have him back for good--

    15 For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receive him for ever;

16. 16 no longer as a slave, but better than a slave, as a dear brother. He is very dear to me but even dearer to you, both as a man and as a brother in the Lord.

    16 Not now as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved, specially to me, but how much more unto thee, both in the flesh, and in the Lord?

17. 17 So if you consider me a partner, welcome him as you would welcome me.

    17 If thou count me therefore a partner, receive him as myself.

18. 18 If he has done you any wrong or owes you anything, charge it to me.

    18 If he hath wronged thee, or oweth [thee] ought, put that on mine account;

19. 19 I, Paul, am writing this with my own hand. I will pay it back--not to mention that you owe me your very self.

    19 I Paul have written [it] with mine own hand, I will repay [it]: albeit I do not say to thee how thou owest unto me even thine own self besides.

20. 20 I do wish, brother, that I may have some benefit from you in the Lord; refresh my heart in Christ.

    20 Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord: refresh my bowels in the Lord.

21. 21 Confident of your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even more than I ask.

    21 Having confidence in thy obedience I wrote unto thee, knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say.

22. 22 And one thing more: Prepare a guest room for me, because I hope to be restored to you in answer to your prayers.

    22 But withal prepare me also a lodging: for I trust that through your prayers I shall be given unto you.

23. 23 Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, sends you greetings.

    23 There salute thee Epaphras, my fellowprisoner in Christ Jesus;

24. 24 And so do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas and Luke, my fellow workers.

    24 Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas, my fellowlabourers.

25. 25 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.

    25 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with your spirit. Amen. <<[Written from Rome to Philemon, by Onesimus a servant.]>>
