2 and|strong="G2532" also|strong="G2532" to|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" beloved Apphia, to|strong="G2532" Archippus our|strong="G2532" fellow|strong="G4961" soldier|strong="G4961", and|strong="G2532" to|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" church|strong="G1577" that|strong="G3588" meets in|strong="G2596" yoʋr house|strong="G3624":
3 Grace|strong="G5485" to|strong="G2532" you|strong="G5210" and|strong="G2532" peace|strong="G1515" from|strong="G1515" God|strong="G2316" our|strong="G2316" Father|strong="G3962" and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" Lord|strong="G2962" Jesus|strong="G2424" Christ|strong="G5547".
4 I|strong="G1473" give|strong="G2168" thanks|strong="G2168" to|strong="G1909" my|strong="G1473" God|strong="G2316", always|strong="G3842" making|strong="G4160" mention|strong="G3417" of|strong="G2316" yoʋ in|strong="G1909" my|strong="G1473" prayers|strong="G4335",
5 because|strong="G4314" I|strong="G3739" hear of|strong="G2532" yoʋr love for|strong="G1519" all|strong="G3956" the|strong="G2532" saints and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" faith|strong="G4102" that|strong="G3739" yoʋ have|strong="G2192" toward|strong="G1519" the|strong="G2532" Lord|strong="G2962" Jesus|strong="G2424".
6 I|strong="G1473" pray that|strong="G3588" yoʋr fellowship|strong="G2842" with|strong="G1722" us|strong="G1519" in|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" faith|strong="G4102" may|strong="G5547" be|strong="G1096" effective|strong="G1756" in|strong="G1722" deepening yoʋr understanding of|strong="G1722" every|strong="G3956" blessing that|strong="G3588" we|strong="G2249" have|strong="G1473" in|strong="G1722" Christ|strong="G5547" Jesus|strong="G1096".
7 We|strong="G3754" are|strong="G3588" very|strong="G4183" thankful for|strong="G1063" the|strong="G2532" comfort|strong="G3874" we|strong="G3754" have|strong="G2192" received|strong="G2192" from|strong="G2532" yoʋr love, because|strong="G3754" the|strong="G2532" hearts|strong="G4698" of|strong="G1223" the|strong="G2532" saints have|strong="G2192" been|strong="G2192" refreshed through|strong="G1223" yoʋ, brother.
8 Therefore|strong="G1352", although I|strong="G1352" am|strong="G2192" bold|strong="G3954" enough|strong="G4183" in|strong="G1722" Christ|strong="G5547" to|strong="G1722" command|strong="G2004" yoʋ to|strong="G1722" do|strong="G2192" what|strong="G3588" is|strong="G3588" right,
9 I|strong="G2532" would|strong="G2532" rather|strong="G3123" appeal|strong="G3870" to|strong="G2532" yoʋ on|strong="G1161" the|strong="G2532" basis of|strong="G1223" love. I|strong="G2532", Paul|strong="G3972", an|strong="G2532" old|strong="G2532" man|strong="G5108" and|strong="G2532" now|strong="G1161" a|strong="G5613" prisoner|strong="G1198" for|strong="G1223" Jesus|strong="G2424" Christ|strong="G5547",
10 appeal|strong="G3870" to|strong="G1722" yoʋ on|strong="G1722" behalf|strong="G4012" of|strong="G4012" my|strong="G1699" child|strong="G5043", Onesimus|strong="G3682", whose|strong="G3739" father|strong="G1080" I|strong="G1473" have|strong="G1473" become during|strong="G1722" my|strong="G1699" imprisonment|strong="G1199".
11 Once|strong="G4218" he|strong="G2532" was|strong="G3588" useless to|strong="G2532" yoʋ, but|strong="G1161" now|strong="G1161" he|strong="G2532" is|strong="G3588" useful|strong="G2173" both|strong="G2532" to|strong="G2532" yoʋ and|strong="G2532" to|strong="G2532" me|strong="G1473". I|strong="G1473" am|strong="G1473" sending him|strong="G3588" back,
12 and|strong="G3588" I|strong="G3778" ask yoʋ to|strong="G3778" receive him|strong="G3588", that|strong="G3588" is|strong="G1510", my|strong="G1699" very|strong="G3778" own|strong="G1699" heart|strong="G4698".
13 I|strong="G1473" wanted|strong="G1014" to|strong="G4314" keep|strong="G2722" him|strong="G3588" with|strong="G1722" me|strong="G1473" so|strong="G2443" that|strong="G2443" he|strong="G3739" could|strong="G3588" serve|strong="G1247" me|strong="G1473" in|strong="G1722" yoʋr place|strong="G1722" during|strong="G1722" my|strong="G1722" imprisonment|strong="G1199" for|strong="G5228" the|strong="G1722" gospel|strong="G2098".
14 But|strong="G1161" I|strong="G1161" did|strong="G4160" not|strong="G3361" want|strong="G2309" to|strong="G2443" do|strong="G4160" anything|strong="G3762" without|strong="G5565" yoʋr consent|strong="G1106", so|strong="G2443" that|strong="G2443" yoʋr good|strong="G3588" deed would|strong="G2309" not|strong="G3361" be|strong="G1510" done|strong="G4160" out|strong="G2596" of|strong="G2596" compulsion, but|strong="G1161" of|strong="G2596" yoʋr own|strong="G4674" free|strong="G1595" will|strong="G2309".
15 Perhaps|strong="G5029" the|strong="G1223" reason|strong="G1223" he|strong="G3778" was|strong="G5610" separated|strong="G5563" from|strong="G1223" yoʋ for|strong="G1063" an|strong="G4314" hour|strong="G5610" was|strong="G5610" so|strong="G2443" that|strong="G2443" yoʋ might|strong="G5610" have|strong="G3778" him|strong="G4314" back|strong="G4314" forever|strong="G1223",
16 no|strong="G3756" longer|strong="G2089" as|strong="G5613" a|strong="G5613" slave|strong="G1401", but|strong="G1161" more|strong="G3123" than|strong="G5228" a|strong="G5613" slave|strong="G1401", as|strong="G5613" a|strong="G5613" beloved brother, especially|strong="G3122" to|strong="G2532" me|strong="G1473", but|strong="G1161" even|strong="G2532" more|strong="G3123" so|strong="G2532" to|strong="G2532" yoʋ, both|strong="G2532" in|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" flesh|strong="G4561" and|strong="G2532" in|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" Lord|strong="G2962".
17 So|strong="G3767" if|strong="G1487" yoʋ consider|strong="G2192" me|strong="G1473" to|strong="G2192" be|strong="G2192" a|strong="G2192" partner|strong="G2844", receive|strong="G4355" him|strong="G4355" as|strong="G5613" yoʋ would receive|strong="G4355" me|strong="G1473".
18 If|strong="G1487" he|strong="G1161" has|strong="G3778" wronged yoʋ in|strong="G1161" any|strong="G5100" way|strong="G5100" or|strong="G2228" owes|strong="G3784" yoʋ anything|strong="G5100", charge|strong="G1677" it|strong="G1161" to|strong="G5100" me|strong="G1473".
19 I|strong="G1473", Paul|strong="G3972", write|strong="G1125" this|strong="G3588" with|strong="G2532" my|strong="G1699" own|strong="G1699" hand|strong="G5495": I|strong="G1473" will|strong="G2532" repay it|strong="G2532" (not|strong="G3361" to|strong="G2443" mention|strong="G3004" that|strong="G3754" yoʋ owe|strong="G4359" me|strong="G1473" yoʋr very|strong="G2532" own|strong="G1699" life).
20 Yes|strong="G3483", brother, let|strong="G3685" me|strong="G1473" have|strong="G1473" some|strong="G3588" benefit|strong="G3685" from|strong="G3588" yoʋ in|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" Lord|strong="G2962". Refresh my|strong="G1722" heart|strong="G4698" in|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" Lord|strong="G2962".
21 Trusting|strong="G3982" in|strong="G2532" yoʋr obedience|strong="G5218", I|strong="G3739" write|strong="G1125" to|strong="G2532" yoʋ, knowing|strong="G1492" that|strong="G3754" yoʋ will|strong="G2532" do|strong="G4160" even|strong="G2532" more|strong="G5228" than|strong="G5228" I|strong="G3739" ask|strong="G3004".
22 At|strong="G1161" the|strong="G2532" same|strong="G2532" time, I|strong="G1473" want yoʋ to|strong="G2532" prepare|strong="G2090" a|strong="G2532" guest room for|strong="G1063" me|strong="G1473", for|strong="G1063" I|strong="G1473" hope|strong="G1679" that|strong="G3754" through|strong="G1223" your|strong="G1223" prayers|strong="G4335" I|strong="G1473" will|strong="G2532" be|strong="G2532" restored to|strong="G2532" you|strong="G5210" soon.
