"Philemon": {
"1": {
"1": "Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother,\nTo Philemon our dear friend and fellow worker—",
"2": "also to Apphia our sister and Archippus our fellow soldier—and to the church that meets in your home:",
"3": "Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.",
"4": "I always thank my God as I remember you in my prayers,",
"5": "because I hear about your love for all his holy people and your faith in the Lord Jesus.",
"6": "I pray that your partnership with us in the faith may be effective in deepening your understanding of every good thing we share for the sake of Christ.",
"7": "Your love has given me great joy and encouragement, because you, brother, have refreshed the hearts of the Lord’s people.",
"8": "Therefore, although in Christ I could be bold and order you to do what you ought to do,",
"9": "yet I prefer to appeal to you on the basis of love. It is as none other than Paul—an old man and now also a prisoner of Christ Jesus—",
"10": "that I appeal to you for my son Onesimus, who became my son while I was in chains.",
"11": "Formerly he was useless to you, but now he has become useful both to you and to me.",
"12": "I am sending him—who is my very heart—back to you.",
"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.",
"14": "But I did not want to do anything without your consent, so that any favor you do would not seem forced but would be voluntary.",
"15": "Perhaps the reason he was separated from you for a little while was that you might have him back forever—",
"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 fellow man and as a brother in the Lord.",
"17": "So if you consider me a partner, welcome him as you would welcome me.",
"18": "If he has done you any wrong or owes you anything, charge it to me.",
"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.",
"20": "I do wish, brother, that I may have some benefit from you in the Lord; refresh my heart in Christ.",
"21": "Confident of your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even more than I ask.",
"22": "And one thing more: Prepare a guest room for me, because I hope to be restored to you in answer to your prayers.",
"23": "Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, sends you greetings.",
"24": "And so do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas and Luke, my fellow workers.",
"25": "The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit."
