1 παυλος, δεσμιος χριστου ιησου, και τιμοθεος ο αδελφος, φιλημονι τω αγαπητω και συνεργω ημων
1 PABLO, prisionero de Jesucristo, y el hermano Timoteo, á Filemón amado, y coadjutor nuestro;
1 Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon, our beloved fellow worker,
2 και απφια τη αγαπητη και αρχιππω τω συστρατιωτη ημων και τη κατ οικον σου εκκλησια·
2 Y á la amada Apphia, y á Archîpo, compañero de nuestra milicia, y á la iglesia [que está] en tu casa:
2 to the beloved Apphia, to Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the assembly in your house:
3 χαρις υμιν και ειρηνη απο θεου πατρος ημων και κυριου ιησου χριστου.
3 Gracia á vosotros y paz de Dios nuestro Padre, y del Señor Jesucristo.
3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
4 ευχαριστω τω θεω μου παντοτε μνειαν σου ποιουμενος επι των προσευχων μου,
4 Doy gracias á mi Dios, haciendo siempre memoria de ti en mis oraciones.
4 I thank my God always, making mention of you in my prayers,
5 ακουων σου την αγαπην και την πιστιν ην εχεις προς τον κυριον ιησουν και εις παντας τους αγιους,
5 Oyendo tu caridad, y la fe que tienes en el Señor Jesús, y para con todos los santos;
5 hearing of your love and of the faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints,
6 οπως η κοινωνια της πιστεως σου ενεργης γενηται εν επιγνωσει παντος αγαθου του εν ημιν εις χριστον ιησουν.
6 Para que la comunicación de tu fe sea eficaz, en el conocimiento de todo el bien que está en vosotros, por Cristo Jesús.
6 that the fellowship of your faith may become effective in the knowledge of every good thing which is in us in Christ Jesus.
7 χαριν γαρ εχομεν πολλην και παρακλησιν επι τη αγαπη σου, οτι τα σπλαγχνα των αγιων αναπεπαυται δια σου, αδελφε.
7 Porque tenemos gran gozo y consolación de tu caridad, de que por ti, oh hermano, han sido recreadas las entrañas de los santos.
7 For we have much joy and comfort in your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you, brother.
8 διο, πολλην εν χριστω παρρησιαν εχων επιτασσειν σοι το ανηκον,
8 Por lo cual, aunque tengo mucha resolución en Cristo para mandarte lo que conviene,
8 Therefore though I have all boldness in Christ to command you that which is appropriate,
9 δια την αγαπην μαλλον παρακαλω· τοιουτος ων, ως παυλος πρεσβυτης, νυνι δε και δεσμιος ιησου χριστου,
9 Ruégo[te] más bien por amor, siendo tal cual [soy], Pablo viejo, y aun ahora prisionero de Jesucristo:
9 yet for love’s sake I rather appeal to you, being such a one as Paul, the aged, but also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.
10 παρακαλω σε περι του εμου τεκνου, ον εγεννησα εν τοις δεσμοις μου, ονησιμον,
10 Ruégote por mi hijo Onésimo, que he engendrado en mis prisiones,
10 I appeal to you for my child Onesimus, whom I have become the father of in my chains,
11 τον ποτε σοι αχρηστον, νυνι δε σοι και εμοι ευχρηστον, ον ανεπεμψα·
11 El cual en otro tiempo te fué inútil, mas ahora á ti y á mí es útil;
11 who once was useless to you, but now is useful to you and to me.
12 συ δε αυτον, τουτ εστιν τα εμα σπλαγχνα, προσλαβου·
12 El cual te vuelvo á enviar; tú pues, recíbele como á mis entrañas.
12 I am sending him back. Therefore receive him, that is, my own heart,
13 ον εγω εβουλομην προς εμαυτον κατεχειν, ινα υπερ σου διακονη μοι εν τοις δεσμοις του ευαγγελιου·
13 Yo quisiera detenerle conmigo, para que en lugar de ti me sirviese en las prisiones del evangelio;
13 whom I desired to keep with me, that on your behalf he might serve me in my chains for the Good News.
14 χωρις δε της σης γνωμης ουδεν ηθελησα ποιησαι, ινα μη ως κατα αναγκην το αγαθον σου η, αλλα κατα εκουσιον.
14 Mas nada quise hacer sin tu consejo, porque tu beneficio no fuese como de necesidad, sino voluntario.
14 But I was willing to do nothing without your consent, that your goodness would not be as of necessity, but of free will.
15 ταχα γαρ δια τουτο εχωρισθη προς ωραν, ινα αιωνιον αυτον απεχης,
15 Porque acaso por esto se ha apartado de ti por [algún] tiempo, para que le recibieses para siempre;
15 For perhaps he was therefore separated from you for a while that you would have him forever,
16 ουκετι ως δουλον, αλλ υπερ δουλον, αδελφον αγαπητον, μαλιστα εμοι, ποσω δε μαλλον σοι και εν σαρκι και εν κυριω!
16 No ya como siervo, antes más que siervo, [como] hermano amado, mayormente de mí, pero cuánto más de ti, en la carne y en el Señor.
16 no longer as a slave, but more than a slave, a beloved brother—especially to me, but how much rather to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.
17 ει ουν με εχεις κοινωνον, προσλαβου αυτον ως εμε.
17 Así que, si me tienes por compañero, recíbele como á mí.
17 If then you count me a partner, receive him as you would receive me.
18 ει δε τι ηδικησεν σε η οφειλει, τουτο εμοι ελλογει·
18 Y si en algo te dañó, ó te debe, ponlo á mi cuenta.
18 But if he has wronged you at all or owes you anything, put that to my account.
19 εγω παυλος εγραψα τη εμη χειρι, εγω αποτισω· ινα μη λεγω σοι οτι και σεαυτον μοι προσοφειλεις.
19 Yo Pablo lo escribí de mi mano, yo [lo] pagaré: por no decirte que aun á ti mismo te me debes demás.
19 I, Paul, write this with my own hand: I will repay it (not to mention to you that you owe to me even your own self besides).
20 ναι, αδελφε, εγω σου οναιμην εν κυριω· αναπαυσον μου τα σπλαγχνα εν κυριω.
20 Sí, hermano, góceme yo de ti en el Señor; recrea mis entrañas en el Señor.
20 Yes, brother, let me have joy from you in the Lord. Refresh my heart in the Lord.
21 πεποιθως τη υπακοη σου εγραψα σοι, ειδως οτι και υπερ ο λεγω ποιησεις.
21 Te he escrito confiando en tu obediencia, sabiendo que aun harás más de lo que digo.
21 Having confidence in your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even beyond what I say.
22 αμα δε και ετοιμαζε μοι ξενιαν· ελπιζω γαρ οτι δια των προσευχων υμων χαρισθησομαι υμιν.
22 Y asimismo prepárame también alojamiento; porque espero que por vuestras oraciones os tengo de ser concedido.
22 Also, prepare a guest room for me, for I hope that through your prayers I will be restored to you.
23 ασπαζεται σε επαφρας ο συναιχμαλωτος μου εν χριστω ιησου,
23 Te saludan Epafras, mi compañero en la prisión por Cristo Jesús,
23 Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, greets you,
24 μαρκος, αρισταρχος, δημας, λουκας, οι συνεργοι μου.
24 Marcos, Aristarco, Demas y Lucas, mis cooperadores.
24 as do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers.
25 η χαρις του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου μετα του πνευματος υμων· αμην.
25 La gracia de nuestro Señor Jesucristo sea con vuestro espíritu. Amén. A Filemón fué enviada de Roma por Onésimo, siervo.
25 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
These things are said to a master in behalf of a servant. Immediately at the outset, he has pulled down his spirit, and not suffered him to be ashamed, he has quenched his anger; calling himself a prisoner, he strikes him with compunction, and makes him collect himself, and makes it appear that present things are nothing.
