1

Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon our dearly beloved, and fellow laborer,

2

And to our beloved Apphia, and Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the church in your house:

3

Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

4

I thank my God, making mention of you always in my prayers,

5

Hearing of your love and faith, which you have toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints;

6

That the communication of your 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 your love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by you, brother.

8

Why, though I might be much bold in Christ to enjoin you that which is convenient,

9

Yet for love's sake I rather beseech you, being such an one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.

10

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

11

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

12

Whom I have sent again: you therefore receive him, that is, my own bowels:

13

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

14

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

15

For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that you should receive him for ever;

16

Not now as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved, specially to me, but how much more to you, both in the flesh, and in the Lord?

17

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

18

If he has wronged you, or owes you ought, put that on my account;

19

I Paul have written it with my own hand, I will repay it: albeit I do not say to you how you owe to me even your own self besides.

20

Yes, brother, let me have joy of you in the Lord: refresh my bowels in the Lord.

21

Having confidence in your obedience I wrote to you, knowing that you will also do more than I say.

22

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

23

There salute you Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus;

24

Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas, my fellow laborers.

25

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen. Written from Rome to Philemon, by Onesimus a servant.

1

God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets,

2

Has in these last days spoken to us by his Son, whom he has appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;

3

Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high:

4

Being made so much better than the angels, as he has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.

5

For to which of the angels said he at any time, You are my Son, this day have I begotten you? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?

6

And again, when he brings in the first-begotten into the world, he said, And let all the angels of God worship him.

7

And of the angels he said, Who makes his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.

8

But to the Son he said, Your throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of your kingdom.

9

You have loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.

10

And, You, Lord, in the beginning have laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of your hands:

11

They shall perish; but you remain; and they all shall wax old as does a garment;

12

And as a clothing shall you fold them up, and they shall be changed: but you are the same, and your years shall not fail.

13

But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstoo?

14

Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?

1

Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.

2

For if the word spoken by angels was steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward;

3

How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by them that heard him;

4

God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?

5

For to the angels has he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak.

6

But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that you are mindful of him? or the son of man that you visit him?

7

You made him a little lower than the angels; you crowned him with glory and honor, and did set him over the works of your hands:

8

You have put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him.

9

But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honor; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.

10

For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

11

For both he that sanctifies and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brothers,

12

Saying, I will declare your name to my brothers, in the middle of the church will I sing praise to you.

13

And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God has given me.

14

For as much then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;

15

And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

16

For truly he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.

17

Why in all things it behooved him to be made like to his brothers, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.

18

For in that he himself has suffered being tempted, he is able to succor them that are tempted.

1

Why, holy brothers, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;

2

Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.

3

For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who has built the house has more honor than the house.

4

For every house is built by some man; but he that built all things is God.

5

And Moses truly was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;

6

But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm to the end.

7

Why (as the Holy Ghost said, To day if you will hear his voice,

8

Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:

9

When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.

10

Why I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do always err in their heart; and they have not known my ways.

11

So I swore in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest. )

12

Take heed, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.

13

But exhort one another daily, while it is called Today; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

14

For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end;

15

While it is said, To day if you will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.

16

For some, when they had heard, did provoke: however, not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.

17

But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness?

18

And to whom swore he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?

19

So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.

1

Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.

2

For to us was the gospel preached, as well as to them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.

3

For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

4

For he spoke in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.

5

And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.

6

Seeing therefore it remains that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:

7

Again, he limits a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if you will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.

8

For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.

9

There remains therefore a rest to the people of God.

10

For he that is entered into his rest, he also has ceased from his own works, as God did from his.

11

Let us labor therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.

12

For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

13

Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened to the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

14

Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.

15

For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

16

Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
