¹问安为基督耶稣被囚禁的保罗，和提摩太弟兄，写信给我们所爱的，又一同作工的腓利门，

¹Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timotheus the brother, to Philemon our beloved and fellow-worker,

²和亚腓亚姊妹，并我们的战友亚基布，以及在你家里的教会。

²and Apphia the beloved, and Archippus our fellow-soldier, and the assembly in thy house:

³愿恩惠平安从我们的父　神和主耶稣基督临到你们。

³Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ!

⁴称赞腓利门我听见你对主耶稣和众圣徒有爱心和信心，我每逢祷告提到你的时候，就常常感谢我的　神。

⁴I give thanks to my God, always making mention of thee in my prayers,

⁵

⁵hearing of thy love and faith that thou hast unto the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints,

⁶愿你与众人分享你的信心的时候，会产生功效，使我们可以知道在我们中间的一切善事，都是为基督作的。

⁶that the fellowship of thy faith may become working in the full knowledge of every good thing that [is] in you toward Christ Jesus;

⁷弟兄啊，众圣徒的心既然从你得到舒畅，我也因你的爱心，得到更大的喜乐和安慰。

⁷for we have much joy and comfort in thy love, because the bowels of the saints have been refreshed through thee, brother.

⁸为欧尼西慕请求我在基督里虽然可以放胆吩咐你作应作的事，

⁸Wherefore, having in Christ much boldness to command thee that which is fit —

⁹然而像我这上了年纪的保罗，现在又是为基督耶稣被囚禁的，宁愿凭着爱心请求你，

⁹because of the love I rather entreat, being such an one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ;

¹⁰就是为我在囚禁时所生的儿子欧尼西慕求你；

¹⁰I entreat thee concerning my child — whom I did beget in my bonds — Onesimus,

¹¹他从前对你没有什么好处，但现在对你我都有好处。

¹¹who once was to thee unprofitable, and now is profitable to me and to thee,

¹²我现在打发他亲自回到你那里去；他是我所心爱的。

¹²whom I did send again, and thou him (that is, my own bowels) receive,

¹³我本来想把他留在我这里，使他在我为福音被囚禁时，可以替你服事我。

¹³whom I did wish to retain to myself, that in thy behalf he might minister to me in the bonds of the good news,

¹⁴但还没有得到你的同意，我就不愿意这样作，好叫你的善行不是出于勉强，而是出于甘心。

¹⁴and apart from thy mind I willed to do nothing, that as of necessity thy good deed may not be, but of willingness,

¹⁵也许他暂时离开你，正是为了使你永远得着他，

¹⁵for perhaps because of this he did depart for an hour, that age-duringly thou mayest have him,

¹⁶不再是奴仆，而是高过奴仆，是亲爱的弟兄。对我固然是这样，对你来说，不论按肉身或在主内的关系，更是这样。

¹⁶no more as a servant, but above a servant — a brother beloved, especially to me, and how much more to thee, both in the flesh and in the Lord!

¹⁷所以，你要是把我看作同伴，就接纳他好像接纳我一样。

¹⁷If, then, with me thou hast fellowship, receive him as me,

¹⁸如果他使你受了损失，或欠你什么，都记在我的帐上。

¹⁸and if he did hurt to thee, or doth owe anything, this to me be reckoning;

¹⁹“我必偿还”，这是我保罗亲手写的。用不着我说，甚至你的生命，你也是欠我的。

¹⁹I, Paul did write with my hand, I — I will repay; that I may not say that also thyself, besides, to me thou dost owe.

²⁰所以弟兄啊！让我在主里得到你的帮助，使我的心在基督里得着畅快。

²⁰Yes, brother, may I have profit of thee in the Lord; refresh my bowels in the Lord;

²¹我深信你会听从，也知道你所作的必超过我所说的，因此才写信给你。

²¹having been confident in thy obedience I did write to thee, having known that also above what I may say thou wilt do;

²²同时，还请你为我预备住的地方，因为我盼望借着你们的祷告，可以获得释放到你们那里去。

²²and at the same time also prepare for me a lodging, for I hope that through your prayers I shall be granted to you.

²³问候的话为基督耶稣的缘故和我一同坐监的以巴弗，

²³Salute thee doth Epaphras, (my fellow-captive in Christ Jesus,)

²⁴以及我的同工马可、亚里达古、底马、路加都问候你。

²⁴Markus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lukas, my fellow-workmen!

²⁵愿主耶稣基督的恩惠常与你们同在。（“与你们同在”原文作“与你们的心灵同在”；好些抄本在这书末有“阿们”一词。）

²⁵The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [is] with your spirit! Amen.
