腓利門書-Philemon 第 1 章

1:1	基督耶穌的囚犯保羅，和弟兄提摩太，寫信給所愛的並我們的同工腓利門， Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy the brother, to Philemon our beloved and fellow worker
1:2	和姊妹亞腓亞，並與我們一同當兵的亞基布，以及在你家中的召會： And to Apphia the sister and to Archippus our fellow soldier and to the church, which is in your house:
1:3	願恩典與平安，從神我們的父，並主耶穌基督歸與你們。 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
1:4	我禱告的時候提到你，常常感謝我的神， I thank my God always, making mention of you in my prayers,
1:5	因聽見你對主耶穌，並對眾聖徒的愛與信； Hearing of your love and the faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus and to all the saints,
1:6	願你信的交通顯出功效，使人充分認識你們裏麵為著基督的各樣善事。 That the fellowship of your faith may become effective in the full knowledge of every good thing which is in you for Christ.
1:7	因為弟兄啊，我因你的愛，大大喜樂，滿受鼓勵，因為眾聖徒的心腸藉著你得了舒暢。 For I had much joy and encouragement over your love, because the inward parts of the saints have been refreshed through you, brother.
1:8	為此，我雖然在基督裏能大有膽量吩咐你合宜的事， Therefore though I have much boldness in Christ to charge you what is fitting,
1:9	然而像我這有年紀的保羅，現在又是基督耶穌的囚犯，寧可因著愛懇求你， Because of love I rather entreat, being such a one as Paul the aged and now also a prisoner of Christ Jesus.
1:10	就是為我在捆鎖中所生的孩子歐尼西母懇求你； I entreat you concerning my child, whom I have begotten in my bonds, Onesimus,
1:11	他從前對你沒有益處，但如今對你我都有益處。 Who formerly was useless to you but now is useful both to you and to me.
1:12	我現在打發他回你那裏去，他乃是我心上的人。 Him I have sent back to you -- him, that is, my very heart --
1:13	我本有意將他留在身邊，使他在我為福音所受的捆鎖中，替你服事我。 Whom I intended to keep with myself that on your behalf he might minister to me in the bonds of the gospel.
1:14	但未得知你的意見，我就不願作什麼，好叫你的善行不像是出於勉強，乃是出於甘心。 But without your mind I did not want to do anything, that your goodness would not be as of necessity, but voluntary.
1:15	因為他暫時離開你，或者是叫你可以永遠完全得著他， For perhaps for this reason he was separated from you for but an hour, that you might fully have him forever,
1:16	不再是奴仆，乃是高過奴仆，是親愛的弟兄，對我固然是如此，對你，不拘在肉身上，或在主裏，豈不都更是這樣。 No longer as a slave, but above a slave, a beloved brother, especially to me, but how much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.
1:17	所以，你若以我為同夥，就接納他，如同接納我一樣。 If then you hold me as a partner, receive him as myself.
1:18	他若虧負你，或欠你什麼，這都歸在我的賬上； And if he has wronged you in anything or owes anything, charge that to my account.
1:19	我必償還，這是我保羅親筆寫的。我並不用對你說，連你自己也是虧欠於我。 I, Paul, have written with my own hand: I will repay; not to say to you that you owe me even your own self besides.
1:20	弟兄啊，是的，願我在主裏從你得著益處，願你使我的心腸在基督裏得舒暢。 Yes, brother, may I have profit from you in the Lord; refresh my inward parts in Christ.
1:21	我寫信給你，深信你必順從，知道你所要行的，甚至必過於我所說的。 Having confidence in your obedience, I have written to you, knowing that you will do even beyond the things that I say.
1:22	同時，你還要給我預備住所，因為我盼望藉著你們的禱告，我可當作恩典賜給你們。 And at the same time also prepare me a lodging, for I hope that through your prayers I will be graciously given to you.
1:23	在基督耶穌裏與我一同坐監的以巴弗問你安。 Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, greets you;
1:24	我的同工馬可、亞裏達古、底馬、路加，也都問你安。 As do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, Luke, my fellow workers.
1:25	願主耶穌基督的恩與你們的靈同在。 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
