Παῦλος δέσμιος Χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ καὶ Τιμόθεος ὁ ἀδελφὸς Φιλήμονι τῷ ἀγαπητῷ καὶ συνεργῷ ἡμῶν
NET2 From Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon, our dear friend and colaborer,
Counts describe the selected edition and book filter, not every textual tradition. An occurrence is a matching source word token; a verse may contain several occurrences. Pagination does not limit these totals.
Exact written-word searches retain accents and spelling. Greek lemma coverage is incomplete. OSHB includes Hebrew and Aramaic; its lemma identities retain prefixes and homograph qualifiers. For compound OSHB tokens, Strong’s lookup uses the source’s first lexical number, not every component.
A Strong’s number is a lexical index, not a definition. English words are not automatically mapped to Greek or Hebrew. Use the NET reference to read the English context; select an original word below to search its exact written form.

Παῦλος δέσμιος Χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ καὶ Τιμόθεος ὁ ἀδελφὸς Φιλήμονι τῷ ἀγαπητῷ καὶ συνεργῷ ἡμῶν
NET2 From Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon, our dear friend and colaborer,
καὶ Ἀπφίᾳ τῇ ἀδελφῇ καὶ Ἀρχίππῳ τῷ συστρατιώτῃ ἡμῶν καὶ τῇ κατ᾿ οἶκον σου ἐκκλησίᾳ,
NET2 to Apphia our sister, to Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the church that meets in your house.
χάρις ὑμῖν καὶ εἰρήνη ἀπὸ θεοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν καὶ κυρίου Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ.
NET2 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!
Εὐχαριστῶ τῷ θεῷ μου πάντοτε μνείαν σου ποιούμενος ἐπὶ τῶν προσευχῶν μου,
NET2 I always thank my God as I remember you in my prayers,
ἀκούων σου τὴν ἀγάπην καὶ τὴν πίστιν, ἣν ἔχεις |πρὸς| τὸν κύριον Ἰησοῦν καὶ εἰς πάντας τοὺς ἁγίους,
NET2 because I hear of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints.
ὅπως ἡ κοινωνία τῆς πίστεως σου ἐνεργὴς γένηται ἐν ἐπιγνώσει παντὸς ἀγαθοῦ |τοῦ| ἐν |ὑμῖν| εἰς Χριστόν.
NET2 I pray that the faith you share with us may deepen your understanding of every blessing that belongs to you in Christ.
χαρὰν γὰρ πολλὴν ἔσχον καὶ παράκλησιν ἐπὶ τῇ ἀγάπῃ σου, ὅτι τὰ σπλάγχνα τῶν ἁγίων ἀναπέπαυται διὰ σοῦ, ἀδελφέ.
NET2 I have had great joy and encouragement because of your love, for the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you, brother.
Διὸ πολλὴν ἐν Χριστῷ παρρησίαν ἔχων ἐπιτάσσειν σοι τὸ ἀνῆκον
NET2 So, although I have quite a lot of confidence in Christ and could command you to do what is proper,
διὰ τὴν ἀγάπην μᾶλλον παρακαλῶ, τοιοῦτος ὢν ὡς Παῦλος πρεσβύτης νυνὶ δὲ καὶ δέσμιος Χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ·
NET2 I would rather appeal to you on the basis of love—I, Paul, an old man and even now a prisoner for the sake of Christ Jesus —
παρακαλῶ σε περὶ τοῦ ἐμοῦ τέκνου, ὃν ἐγέννησα ἐν τοῖς δεσμοῖς, Ὀνήσιμον,
NET2 I am appealing to you concerning my child, whose spiritual father I have become during my imprisonment, that is, Onesimus,
τόν ποτέ σοι ἄχρηστον νυνὶ δὲ σοὶ καὶ ἐμοὶ εὔχρηστον,
NET2 who was formerly useless to you, but is now useful to you and me.
ὃν ἀνέπεμψα σοι, αὐτόν (τοῦτ᾿ ἔστιν τὰ ἐμὰ σπλάγχνα).
NET2 I have sent him (who is my very heart) back to you.
Ὂν ἐγὼ ἐβουλόμην πρὸς ἐμαυτὸν κατέχειν, ἵνα ὑπὲρ σοῦ μοι διακονῇ ἐν τοῖς δεσμοῖς τοῦ εὐαγγελίου,
NET2 I wanted to keep him with me so that he could serve me in your place during my imprisonment for the sake of the gospel.
χωρὶς δὲ τῆς σῆς γνώμης οὐδὲν ἠθέλησα ποιῆσαι, ἵνα μὴ ὡς κατὰ ἀνάγκην τὸ ἀγαθόν σου ᾖ ἀλλὰ κατὰ ἑκούσιον.
NET2 However, without your consent I did not want to do anything so that your good deed would not be out of compulsion, but from your own willingness.
Τάχα γὰρ διὰ τοῦτο ἐχωρίσθη πρὸς ὥραν, ἵνα αἰώνιον αὐτὸν ἀπέχῃς,
NET2 For perhaps it was for this reason that he was separated from you for a little while so that you would have him back eternally,
οὐκέτι ὡς δοῦλον ἀλλ᾿ ὑπὲρ δοῦλον, ἀδελφὸν ἀγαπητόν, μάλιστα ἐμοί, πόσῳ δὲ μᾶλλον σοὶ καὶ ἐν σαρκὶ καὶ ἐν κυρίῳ.
NET2 no longer as a slave, but more than a slave, as a dear brother. He is especially so to me, and even more so to you now, both humanly speaking and in the Lord.
εἰ οὖν με ἔχεις κοινωνόν, προσλαβοῦ αὐτὸν ὡς ἐμέ.
NET2 Therefore if you regard me as a partner, accept him as you would me.
εἰ δέ τι ἠδίκησεν σε ἢ ὀφείλει, τοῦτο ἐμοὶ ἐλλόγα.
NET2 Now if he has defrauded you of anything or owes you anything, charge what he owes to me.
ἐγὼ Παῦλος ἔγραψα τῇ ἐμῇ χειρί, ἐγὼ ἀποτίσω· ἵνα μὴ λέγω σοι ὅτι καὶ σεαυτόν μοι προσοφείλεις.
NET2 I, Paul, have written this letter with my own hand: I will repay it. I could also mention that you owe me your very self.
ναί ἀδελφέ, ἐγώ σου ὀναίμην ἐν κυρίῳ· ἀνάπαυσον μου τὰ σπλάγχνα ἐν Χριστῷ.
NET2 Yes, brother, let me have some benefit from you in the Lord. Refresh my heart in Christ.
