1 Παύλος, δέσμιος του Ιησού Χριστού, και Τιμόθεος ο αδελφός, προς Φιλήμονα τον αγαπητόν και συνεργόν ημών
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 την Απφίαν την αγαπητήν και Άρχιππον τον συστρατιώτην ημών και την κατ' οίκον σου εκκλησίαν·
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 χάρις είη υμίν και ειρήνη από Θεού Πατρός ημών και Κυρίου Ιησού Χριστού.
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 Ευχαριστώ τον Θεόν μου και μνημονεύω σε πάντοτε εν ταις προσευχαίς 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 ακούων την αγάπην σου και την πίστιν, την οποίαν έχεις προς τον Κύριον Ιησούν και εις πάντας τους αγίους,
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 διά να γείνη η κοινωνία της πίστεώς σου ενεργός διά της φανερώσεως παντός καλού του εν υμίν εις Χριστόν Ιησούν.
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 Διότι χαράν πολλήν έχομεν και παρηγορίαν διά την αγάπην σου, επειδή τα σπλάγχνα των αγίων ανεπαύθησαν διά σου, αδελφέ.
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 Όθεν, αν και έχω εν Χριστώ πολλήν παρρησίαν να επιτάττω εις σε το πρέπον,
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 όμως διά την αγάπην μάλλον σε παρακαλώ, τοιούτος ων ως Παύλος ο γέρων, τώρα δε και δέσμιος του Ιησού Χριστού,
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 σε παρακαλώ υπέρ του τέκνου μου, τον οποίον εγέννησα εν τοις δεσμοίς μου, υπέρ του Ονησίμου,
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 όστις ήτο ποτέ άχρηστος εις σε, τώρα δε εις σε και εις εμέ είναι χρήσιμος,
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 τον οποίον πέμπω οπίσω. Συ δε αυτόν, τουτέστι τα σπλάγχνα μου, δέχθητι·
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 τον οποίον εγώ ήθελον να κρατώ πλησίον μου, διά να με υπηρετή αντί σου εν τοις δεσμοίς του ευαγγελίου·
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 χωρίς όμως της γνώμης σου δεν ηθέλησα να κάμω ουδέν, διά να μη ήναι το αγαθόν σου ως κατ' ανάγκην, αλλ' εκουσίως.
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 Διότι ίσως διά τούτο εχωρίσθη προς ώραν, διά να απολάβης αυτόν διαπαντός,
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 ουχί πλέον ως δούλον, αλλ' υπέρ δούλον, αδελφόν αγαπητόν, μάλιστα εις εμέ, πόσω δε μάλλον εις σε και κατά σάρκα και εν Κυρίω.
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 Εάν λοιπόν έχης εμέ κοινωνόν, δέχθητι αυτόν ως εμέ.
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 Και εάν σε ηδίκησεν εις τι ή χρεωστή, λογαρίαζε τούτο εις εμέ·
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 εγώ ο Παύλος έγραψα με την χείρα μου, εγώ θέλω πληρώσει· διά να μη σοι λέγω ότι και σεαυτόν έτι μοι χρεωστείς.
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, αδελφέ, είθε να λάβω εγώ ταύτην την χάριν παρά σου εν Κυρίω· ανάπαυσόν μου τα σπλάγχνα εν Κυρίω.
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 Πεποιθώς εις την υπακοήν σου έγραψα προς σε, εξεύρων ότι και πλειότερον αφ' ό,τι λέγω θέλεις κάμει.
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 Ενταυτώ δε ετοίμαζέ μοι και κατάλυμα· επειδή ελπίζω ότι διά των προσευχών σας θέλω χαρισθή εις εσάς.
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 Ασπάζονταί σε Επαφράς ο συναιχμάλωτός μου εν Χριστώ Ιησού,
23 Te saludan Epafras, mi compañero en la prisión por Cristo Jesús,
23 Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, greets you,
24 Μάρκος, Αρίσταρχος, Δημάς, Λουκάς, οι συνεργοί μου.
24 Marcos, Aristarco, Demas y Lucas, mis cooperadores.
24 as do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers.
25 Η χάρις του Κυρίου ημών Ιησού Χριστού είη μετά του πνεύματος υμών. Αμήν.
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.
