Douay Bible - Philemon Chapter 1

Philemon 1:1
Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy, a brother: to Philemon, our beloved and fellow labourer;

Philemon 1:2
And to Appia, our dearest sister, and to Archippus, our fellow soldier, and to the church which is in thy house:

Philemon 1:3
Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

Philemon 1:4
I give thanks to my God, always making a remembrance of thee in my prayers.

Philemon 1:5
Hearing of thy charity and faith, which thou hast in the Lord Jesus, and towards all the saints:

Philemon 1:6
That the communication of thy faith may be made evident in the acknowledgment of every good work, that is in you in Christ Jesus.

Philemon 1:7
For I have had great joy and consolation in thy charity, because the bowels of the saints have been refreshed by thee, brother.

Philemon 1:8
Wherefore though I have much confidence in Christ Jesus, to command thee that which is to the purpose:

Philemon 1:9
For charity sake I rather beseech, whereas thou art such a one, as Paul an old man, and now a prisoner also of Jesus Christ.

Philemon 1:10
I beseech thee for my son, whom I have begotten in my bands, Onesimus,

Philemon 1:11
Who hath been heretofore unprofitable to thee, but now is profitable both to me and thee,

Philemon 1:12
Whom I have sent back to thee. And do thou receive him as my own bowels.

Philemon 1:13
Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered to me in the bands of the gospel:

Philemon 1:14
But without thy counsel I would do nothing: that thy good deed might not be as it were of necessity, but voluntary.

Philemon 1:15
For perhaps he therefore departed for a season from thee, that thou mightest receive him again for ever:

Philemon 1:16
Not now as a servant, but instead of a servant, a most dear brother, especially to me: but how much more to thee both in the flesh and in the Lord?

Philemon 1:17
If therefore thou count me a partner, receive him as myself.

Philemon 1:18
And if he hath wronged thee in any thing, or is in thy debt, put that to my account.

Philemon 1:19
I Paul have written it with my own hand: I will repay it: not to say to thee, that thou owest me thy own self also.

Philemon 1:20
Yea, brother. May I enjoy thee in the Lord. Refresh my bowels in the Lord.

Philemon 1:21
Trusting in thy obedience, I have written to thee: knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say.

Philemon 1:22
But withal prepare me also a lodging. For I hope that through your prayers I shall be given unto you.

Philemon 1:23
There salute thee Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus;

Philemon 1:24
Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke my fellow labourers.

Philemon 1:25
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.

Introduction to the Douay-Rheims Bible

The Douay-Rheims Bible is an English translation of the Latin Vulgate, a 4th-century Latin translation of the Bible. It was published in the late 16th and early 17th centuries for English-speaking Catholics. The New Testament was published in 1582 and the Old Testament in 1609-10. It is considered one of the most influential English Bibles of the time. The Douay-Rheims Bible differs from other versions in several ways: Translation source: Unlike many other English Bibles that were translated from the original Greek and Hebrew texts, the Douay-Rheims was translated from the Latin Vulgate, which was the standard version of the Bible for the Catholic Church for many centuries. Language: The Douay-Rheims uses an archaic form of English, making it difficult for modern readers to understand. Theology: The Douay-Rheims reflects the theology of the Catholic Church, including its views on the authority of the Pope and the sacraments. Footnotes and commentary: The Douay-Rhe...

Proverbs 12:1 He that loveth correction, loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is foolish. Proverbs 12:2 He that is good, shall draw grace from the Lord : but he that trusteth in his own devices doth wickedly.
