Phm 1:1 Paul the presoner of Iesu Christ and brother Timotheus. Vnto Philemon the beloved and oure helper
Phm 1:2 and to the beloved Appia and to Archippus oure felowe soudier and to the congregacion of thy housse.
Phm 1:3 Grace be with you and peace from God oure father and from the Lorde Iesus Christ.
Phm 1:4 I thake my God makinge mencio all wayes of the in my prayers
Phm 1:5 when I heare of thy love and fayth which thou hast towarde the Lorde Iesu and towarde all saynctes:
Phm 1:6 so that the fellisshippe that thou hast in the fayth is frutefull thorow knowledge of all good thinges which are in you by Iesus Christ.
Phm 1:7 And we have great ioye and consolacion over thy love: for by the (brother) the saynctes hertes are comforted.
Phm 1:8 Wherfore though I be bolde in Christ to enioyne the that which becometh the:
Phm 1:9 yet for loves sake I rather beseche the though I be as I am eve Paul aged and now in bondes for Iesu Christes sake.
Phm 1:10 I beseche the for my sonne Onesimus whom I begat in my bondes
Phm 1:11 which in tyme passed was to the vnproffetable: but now proffetable bothe to the and also to me
Phm 1:12 whom I have sent home agayne. Thou therfore receave him that is to saye myne awne bowels
Phm 1:13 whom I wolde fayne have retayned with me that in thy stede he myght have ministred vnto me in ye bondes of the gospell.
Phm 1:14 Neverthelesse without thy mynde wolde I doo nothinge that yt good which springeth of the shuld not be as it were of necessitie but willingly.
Phm 1:15 Haply he therfore departed for a season yt thou shuldest receave him for ever
Phm 1:16 not nowe as a servaut: but above a servaunt I meane a brother beloved specially to me: but how moche more vnto the both in the flesshe and also in the Lorde?
Phm 1:17 Yf thou count me a felowe receave him as my selfe.
Phm 1:18 Yf he have hurt the or oweth the ought that laye to my charge.
Phm 1:19 I Paul have writte it with myne awne hode. I will recompence it. So that I do not saye to the howe that thou owest vnto me eve thyne awne silfe.
Phm 1:20 Even so brother let me enioye the in the Lorde. Comforte my bowels in the Lorde.
Phm 1:21 Trustinge in thyne obediece I wrote vnto the knowynge that thou wilt do more then I saye for.
Phm 1:22 Moreover prepare me lodgynge: for I trust thorow ye helpe of youre prayers I shalbe geven vnto you.
Phm 1:23 Ther salute ye Epaphras my felowe presoner in Christ Iesu
Phm 1:24 Marcus Aristarchus Demas Lucas my helpers.
Phm 1:25 The grace of oure Lorde Iesu Christ be with youre spretes. Amen.
