腓利门书
Chinese Standard Bible (Simplified)
问安
1 基督耶稣的囚犯保罗,以及弟兄提摩太,
致我们亲爱的弟兄和同工腓利门, 2 还有姐妹[a]阿菲娅和我们的战友阿其波斯,以及在你家里的教会:
3 愿恩典与平安从神我们的父和主耶稣基督临到你们!
为腓利门感恩
4 我在祷告中提到你的时候,总是感谢我的神, 5 因为我听说了你对主耶稣和所有圣徒所怀的爱心和信仰。 6 藉着认识在我们[b]中间为基督[c]所做的[d]一切美善之事,愿你在信仰上的契合[e]能发挥功效。 7 实际上,我由于你的爱得了极大的喜乐[f]和鼓励,因为弟兄啊,圣徒们的情感藉着你得了安宁。
保罗的请求
8 所以,虽然我在基督里大有胆量,可以吩咐你去做[g]合宜的事, 9 但为了爱的缘故,我宁愿恳求你。我[h]保罗——像我这样一个老人[i],而现在又是基督耶稣的囚犯—— 10 为我在捆锁中所生的孩子[j]奥尼斯莫[k],恳求你。 11 他从前对你没有益处,但如今对你、对我都有益处了。 12 我把他本人送回你那里,就是说,把我的情感送回你那里。 13 我本来想把他留在自己身边,好让他在我为福音被捆锁的期间,能替你服事我。 14 但是没有你的同意,我就不愿意做什么,好让你的美善之事不是出于勉强,而是出于自愿。 15 其实,他暂时离开你,或许正是为了使你可以永远得着他—— 16 不再像一个奴仆,而是高于奴仆,是一位蒙爱的弟兄。他对我尤其是这样,更何况对你呢!无论是在肉体上或在主里面都是这样。
17 因此,你如果把我当做同伴,就请接纳他,像接纳我一样。 18 如果他亏负过你什么,或现在欠了你什么,请把它算在我的账上。 19 我保罗亲手写下:我必偿还——免得我对你说,连你自己也是欠我的呢! 20 是的,弟兄!愿我在主里从你得到喜乐[l],请你使我的情感在基督[m]里得到安宁。 21 我深信你会顺从,就写了信给你,因为我知道你所做的甚至会超过我所求的。 22 同时还请你为我预备住处,因为我希望藉着你们的祷告,能回到你们那里去。
结尾的祝福
23 在基督耶稣里与我一起坐牢的以帕弗拉问候你。 24 我的同工马可、亚里达古、迪马斯、路加也都问候你。
25 愿我们主耶稣基督的恩典与你们的灵同在![n]

Philemon
New International Version
1 Paul, a prisoner(A) of Christ Jesus, and Timothy(B) our brother,(C)
To Philemon our dear friend and fellow worker(D)— 2 also to Apphia our sister and Archippus(E) our fellow soldier(F)—and to the church that meets in your home:(G)
3 Grace and peace to you[a] from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.(H)
Thanksgiving and Prayer
4 I always thank my God(I) as I remember you in my prayers,(J) 5 because I hear about your love for all his holy people(K) and your faith in the Lord Jesus.(L) 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,(M) because you, brother, have refreshed(N) the hearts of the Lord’s people.
Paul’s Plea for Onesimus
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(O) on the basis of love. It is as none other than Paul—an old man and now also a prisoner(P) of Christ Jesus— 10 that I appeal to you for my son(Q) Onesimus,[b](R) who became my son while I was in chains.(S) 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(T) 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(U) 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,(V) but better than a slave, as a dear brother.(W) 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,(X) welcome him as you would welcome me. 18 If he has done you any wrong or owes you anything, charge it to me.(Y) 19 I, Paul, am writing this with my own hand.(Z) 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(AA) my heart in Christ. 21 Confident(AB) 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(AC) restored to you in answer to your prayers.(AD)
23 Epaphras,(AE) my fellow prisoner(AF) in Christ Jesus, sends you greetings. 24 And so do Mark,(AG) Aristarchus,(AH) Demas(AI) and Luke, my fellow workers.(AJ)
25 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.(AK)

Philemon
King James Version
1 Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy our brother, unto Philemon our dearly beloved, and fellowlabourer,
2 And to our beloved Apphia, and Archippus our fellowsoldier, and to the church in thy house:
3 Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
4 I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers,
5 Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints;
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 For we have great joy and consolation in thy love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother.
8 Wherefore, though I might be much bold in Christ to enjoin thee that which is convenient,
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 I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds:
11 Which in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now profitable to thee and to me:
12 Whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive him, that is, mine own bowels:
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 But without thy mind would I do nothing; that thy benefit should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly.
15 For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receive him for ever;
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 If thou count me therefore a partner, receive him as myself.
18 If he hath wronged thee, or oweth thee ought, put that on mine account;
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 Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord: refresh my bowels in the Lord.
21 Having confidence in thy obedience I wrote unto thee, knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say.
22 But withal prepare me also a lodging: for I trust that through your prayers I shall be given unto you.
23 There salute thee Epaphras, my fellowprisoner in Christ Jesus;
24 Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas, my fellowlabourers.
25 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
