Letter To Philemon
Paul, a prisoner of Jesus, with Timothy, our brother, To Philemon, dearly beloved fellowlabourer like no other. A Christian and master of men, with a church in your home as well. I beseech you now for Onesimus. My son; redeemed in my cell. In time past he ran away. An unprofitable servant indeed. But he came to me here in prison, and ministered to my need. I would love to have kept him here, but I wouldn't without your consent. Such a blessing so great to me, from you should be willingly lent. If you count me then as a partner, receive this man as myself. If Onesimus wronged you, or owes you at all, I will pay you from my meager wealth. But I've given you life, Philemon. My request isn't much of a task. I have confidence knowing you'll do the right thing. I'm sure you'll do more than I ask. Please prepare me lodging my friend. I hope to soon come to you. Through your prayers, I trust I'll get out of this place. I'm sure God knows what to do.
