"Philemon": {
"1": {
"1": "Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother,\nTo Philemon our beloved friend and fellow laborer,",
"2": "to the beloved Apphia, Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the church in your house:",
"3": "Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.",
"4": "I thank my God, making mention of you always in my prayers,",
"5": "hearing of your love and faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints,",
"6": "that the sharing of your faith may become effective by the acknowledgment of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.",
"7": "For we have great joy and consolation in your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed by you, brother.",
"8": "Therefore, though I might be very bold in Christ to command you what is fitting,",
"9": "yet for love’s sake I rather appeal to you—being such a one as Paul, the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ—",
"10": "I appeal to you for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten while in my chains,",
"11": "who once was unprofitable to you, but now is profitable to you and to me.",
"12": "I am sending him back. You therefore receive him, that is, my own heart,",
"13": "whom I wished to keep with me, that on your behalf he might minister to me in my chains for the gospel.",
"14": "But without your consent I wanted to do nothing, that your good deed might not be by compulsion, as it were, but voluntary.",
"15": "For perhaps he departed for a while for this purpose, that you might receive him forever,",
"16": "no longer as a slave but more than a slave—a beloved brother, especially to me but how much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.",
"17": "If then you count me as a partner, receive him as you would me.",
"18": "But if he has wronged you or owes anything, put that on my account.",
"19": "I, Paul, am writing with my own hand. I will repay—not to mention to you that you owe me even your own self besides.",
"20": "Yes, brother, let me have joy from you in the Lord; refresh my heart in the Lord.",
"21": "Having confidence in your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even more than I say.",
"22": "But, meanwhile, also prepare a guest room for me, for I trust that through your prayers I shall be granted to you.",
"23": "Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, greets you,",
"24": "as do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, Luke, my fellow laborers.",
"25": "The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen."
