VUL Clementine Vulgate
RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 Paulus vinctus Christi Jesu, et Timotheus frater, Philemoni dilecto, et adjutori nostro,
1 PABLO, prisionero de Jesucristo, y el hermano Timoteo, á Filemón amado, y coadjutor nuestro;
2 et Appiæ sorori carissimæ, et Archippo commilitoni nostro, et ecclesiæ, quæ in domo tua est.
2 Y á la amada Apphia, y á Archîpo, compañero de nuestra milicia, y á la iglesia [que está] en tu casa:
3 Gratia vobis, et pax a Deo Patre nostro, et Domino Jesu Christo.
3 Gracia á vosotros y paz de Dios nuestro Padre, y del Señor Jesucristo.
4 Gratias ago Deo meo, semper memoriam tui faciens in orationibus meis,
4 Doy gracias á mi Dios, haciendo siempre memoria de ti en mis oraciones.
5 audiens caritatem tuam, et fidem, quam habes in Domino Jesu, et in omnes sanctos:
5 Oyendo tu caridad, y la fe que tienes en el Señor Jesús, y para con todos los santos;
6 ut communicatio fidei tuæ evidens fiat in agnitione omnis operis boni, quod est in vobis in Christo Jesu.
6 Para que la comunicación de tu fe sea eficaz, en el conocimiento de todo el bien que está en vosotros, por Cristo Jesús.
7 Gaudium enim magnum habui, et consolationem in caritate tua: quia viscera sanctorum requieverunt per te, frater.
7 Porque tenemos gran gozo y consolación de tu caridad, de que por ti, oh hermano, han sido recreadas las entrañas de los santos.
8 Propter quod multam fiduciam habens in Christo Jesu imperandi tibi quod ad rem pertinet:
8 Por lo cual, aunque tengo mucha resolución en Cristo para mandarte lo que conviene,
9 propter caritatem magis obsecro, cum sis talis, ut Paulus senex, nunc autem et vinctus Jesu Christi:
9 Ruégo[te] más bien por amor, siendo tal cual [soy], Pablo viejo, y aun ahora prisionero de Jesucristo:
10 obsecro te pro meo filio, quem genui in vinculis, Onesimo,
10 Ruégote por mi hijo Onésimo, que he engendrado en mis prisiones,
11 qui tibi aliquando inutilis fuit, nunc autem et mihi et tibi utilis,
11 El cual en otro tiempo te fué inútil, mas ahora á ti y á mí es útil;
12 quem remisi tibi. Tu autem illum, ut mea viscera, suscipe:
12 El cual te vuelvo á enviar; tú pues, recíbele como á mis entrañas.
13 quem ego volueram mecum detinere, ut pro te mihi ministraret in vinculis Evangelii:
13 Yo quisiera detenerle conmigo, para que en lugar de ti me sirviese en las prisiones del evangelio;
14 sine consilio autem tuo nihil volui facere, uti ne velut ex necessitate bonum tuum esset, sed voluntarium.
14 Mas nada quise hacer sin tu consejo, porque tu beneficio no fuese como de necesidad, sino voluntario.
15 Forsitan enim ideo discessit ad horam a te, ut æternum illum reciperes:
15 Porque acaso por esto se ha apartado de ti por [algún] tiempo, para que le recibieses para siempre;
16 jam non ut servum, sed pro servo carissimum fratrem, maxime mihi: quanto autem magis tibi et in carne, et in Domino?
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.
17 Si ergo habes me socium, suscipe illum sicut me:
17 Así que, si me tienes por compañero, recíbele como á mí.
18 si autem aliquid nocuit tibi, aut debet, hoc mihi imputa.
18 Y si en algo te dañó, ó te debe, ponlo á mi cuenta.
19 Ego Paulus scripsi mea manu: ego reddam, ut non dicam tibi, quod et teipsum mihi debes:
19 Yo Pablo lo escribí de mi mano, yo [lo] pagaré: por no decirte que aun á ti mismo te me debes demás.
20 ita, frater. Ego te fruar in Domino: refice viscera mea in Domino.
20 Sí, hermano, góceme yo de ti en el Señor; recrea mis entrañas en el Señor.
21 Confidens in obedientia tua scripsi tibi: sciens quoniam et super id, quod dico, facies.
21 Te he escrito confiando en tu obediencia, sabiendo que aun harás más de lo que digo.
22 Simul autem et para mihi hospitium: nam spero per orationes vestras donari me vobis.
22 Y asimismo prepárame también alojamiento; porque espero que por vuestras oraciones os tengo de ser concedido.
23 Salutat te Epaphras concaptivus meus in Christo Jesu,
23 Te saludan Epafras, mi compañero en la prisión por Cristo Jesús,
24 Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, et Lucas, adjutores mei.
24 Marcos, Aristarco, Demas y Lucas, mis cooperadores.
25 Gratia Domini nostri Jesu Christi cum spiritu vestro. Amen.
25 La gracia de nuestro Señor Jesucristo sea con vuestro espíritu. Amén. A Filemón fué enviada de Roma por Onésimo, siervo.

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.
