1 Παύλος, δέσμιος του Ιησού Χριστού, και Τιμόθεος ο αδελφός, προς Φιλήμονα τον αγαπητόν και συνεργόν ημών 2 και την Απφίαν την αγαπητήν και Άρχιππον τον συστρατιώτην ημών και την κατ' οίκον σου εκκλησίαν· 3 χάρις είη υμίν και ειρήνη από Θεού Πατρός ημών και Κυρίου Ιησού Χριστού. 4 Ευχαριστώ τον Θεόν μου και μνημονεύω σε πάντοτε εν ταις προσευχαίς μου, 5 ακούων την αγάπην σου και την πίστιν, την οποίαν έχεις προς τον Κύριον Ιησούν και εις πάντας τους αγίους, 6 διά να γείνη η κοινωνία της πίστεώς σου ενεργός διά της φανερώσεως παντός καλού του εν υμίν εις Χριστόν Ιησούν. 7 Διότι χαράν πολλήν έχομεν και παρηγορίαν διά την αγάπην σου, επειδή τα σπλάγχνα των αγίων ανεπαύθησαν διά σου, αδελφέ. 8 Όθεν, αν και έχω εν Χριστώ πολλήν παρρησίαν να επιτάττω εις σε το πρέπον, 9 όμως διά την αγάπην μάλλον σε παρακαλώ, τοιούτος ων ως Παύλος ο γέρων, τώρα δε και δέσμιος του Ιησού Χριστού, 10 σε παρακαλώ υπέρ του τέκνου μου, τον οποίον εγέννησα εν τοις δεσμοίς μου, υπέρ του Ονησίμου, 11 όστις ήτο ποτέ άχρηστος εις σε, τώρα δε εις σε και εις εμέ είναι χρήσιμος, 12 τον οποίον πέμπω οπίσω. Συ δε αυτόν, τουτέστι τα σπλάγχνα μου, δέχθητι· 13 τον οποίον εγώ ήθελον να κρατώ πλησίον μου, διά να με υπηρετή αντί σου εν τοις δεσμοίς του ευαγγελίου· 14 χωρίς όμως της γνώμης σου δεν ηθέλησα να κάμω ουδέν, διά να μη ήναι το αγαθόν σου ως κατ' ανάγκην, αλλ' εκουσίως. 15 Διότι ίσως διά τούτο εχωρίσθη προς ώραν, διά να απολάβης αυτόν διαπαντός, 16 ουχί πλέον ως δούλον, αλλ' υπέρ δούλον, αδελφόν αγαπητόν, μάλιστα εις εμέ, πόσω δε μάλλον εις σε και κατά σάρκα και εν Κυρίω. 17 Εάν λοιπόν έχης εμέ κοινωνόν, δέχθητι αυτόν ως εμέ. 18 Και εάν σε ηδίκησεν εις τι ή χρεωστή, λογαρίαζε τούτο εις εμέ· 19 εγώ ο Παύλος έγραψα με την χείρα μου, εγώ θέλω πληρώσει· διά να μη σοι λέγω ότι και σεαυτόν έτι μοι χρεωστείς. 20 Ναι, αδελφέ, είθε να λάβω εγώ ταύτην την χάριν παρά σου εν Κυρίω· ανάπαυσόν μου τα σπλάγχνα εν Κυρίω. 21 Πεποιθώς εις την υπακοήν σου έγραψα προς σε, εξεύρων ότι και πλειότερον αφ' ό,τι λέγω θέλεις κάμει. 22 Ενταυτώ δε ετοίμαζέ μοι και κατάλυμα· επειδή ελπίζω ότι διά των προσευχών σας θέλω χαρισθή εις εσάς. 23 Ασπάζονταί σε Επαφράς ο συναιχμάλωτός μου εν Χριστώ Ιησού, 24 Μάρκος, Αρίσταρχος, Δημάς, Λουκάς, οι συνεργοί μου. 25 Η χάρις του Κυρίου ημών Ιησού Χριστού είη μετά του πνεύματος υμών. Αμήν.

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).

  1. Commentary 1 John Chrysostom, Homilies on Philemon (Homily I)

    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.
