Sha'ul, a prisoner of YAHUSHA HA-MASHIACH, and Timothy our brother, unto Philemon our dearly beloved, and fellowlabourer,

And to our beloved Apphia, and Archippus our fellowsoldier, and to the assembly in thy house:

Grace to you, and peace, from ALUAH our Father and YAHUSHA HA-MASHIACH.

I thank my ALUAH, making mention of thee always in my prayers,

Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward YAHUSHA, and toward all Qodeshim;

That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in HA-MASHIACH YAHUSHA.

For we have great joy and consolation in thy love, because the bowels of the Qodeshim are refreshed by thee, brother.

Wherefore, though I might be much bold in HA-MASHIACH to enjoin thee that which is convenient,

Yet for love’s sake I rather beseech thee, being such an one as Sha'ul the aged, and now also a prisoner of YAHUSHA HA-MASHIACH.

I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds:

Which in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now profitable to thee and to me:

Whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive him, that is, mine own bowels:

Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered unto me in the bonds of the gospel:

But without thy mind would I do nothing; that thy benefit should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly.

For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receive him for ever;

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 YAHUSHA?

If thou count me therefore a partner, receive him as myself.

If he hath wronged thee, or oweth thee ought, put that on mine account;

I Sha'ul 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.

Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in YAHUSHA: refresh my bowels in YAHUSHA.

Having confidence in thy obedience I wrote unto thee, knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say.

But withal prepare me also a lodging: for I trust that through your prayers I shall be given unto you.

There salute thee Epaphras, my fellowprisoner in HA-MASHIACH YAHUSHA;

Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas, my fellowlabourers.

The grace of our YAHUSHA HA-MASHIACH be with your spirit. RUMAMU.
