The Book of Philemon (New King James
Version)

G re e ting
1
  Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and
  Timothy our brother,
To Philemon our beloved friend and fellow
  laborer, 2 to the beloved Apphia,
  Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the
  church in your house:
3
  Grace to you and peace from God our
  Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
The Book of Philemon (New King James
Version)


Phile m o n’ s Lo ve a nd Fa ith
4
  I thank my God, making mention of you
   always in my prayers, 5 hearing of your
   love and faith which you have toward the
   Lord Jesus and toward all the saints, 6
   that the sharing of your faith may
   become effective by the
   acknowledgment of every good thing
   which is in you in Christ Jesus.
The Book of Philemon (New King James
Version)

7
  For we have great joy and consolation in
  your love, because the hearts of the
  saints have been refreshed by you,
  brother.
The Ple a fo r O ne s im us
8
  Therefore, though I might be very bold in
  Christ to command you what is fitting, 9
  yet for love’s sake I rather appeal to you
  —being such a one as Paul, the aged,
  and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ
  —
The Book of Philemon (New King James
Version)

10
   I appeal to you for my son Onesimus,
   whom I have begotten while in my
   chains, 11 who once was unprofitable to
   you, but now is profitable to you and to
   me.
12
   I am sending him back. You therefore
   receive him, that is, my own heart, 13
   whom I wished to keep with me, that on
   your behalf he might minister to me in
   my chains for the gospel.
The Book of Philemon (New King James
Version)

14
   But without your consent I wanted to do
   nothing, that your good deed might not
   be by compulsion, as it were, but
   voluntary.
15
   For perhaps he departed for a while for
   this purpose, that you might receive him
   forever, 16 no longer as a slave but more
   than a slave—a beloved brother,
   especially to me but how much more to
   you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.
The Book of Philemon (New King James
Version)

Phile m o n’s O be d ie nc e Enc o ura g e d
17
   If then you count me as a partner,
   receive him as you would me. 18 But if
   he has wronged you or owes
   anything, put that on my account. 19 I,
   Paul, am writing with my own hand. I
   will repay—not to mention to you that
   you owe me even your own self
   besides.
The Book of Philemon (New King James
Version)

20
   Yes, brother, let me have joy from
   you in the Lord; refresh my heart in
   the Lord.
21
   Having confidence in your obedience,
   I write to you, knowing that you will
   do even more than I say. 22 But,
   meanwhile, also prepare a guest
   room for me, for I trust that through
   your prayers I shall be granted to
   you.
The Book of Philemon (New King James
Version)


Fa re we ll
23
   Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in
   Christ Jesus, greets you, 24 as do
   Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, Luke, my
   fellow labourers.
25
   The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be
   with your spirit. Amen.
Lessons to Be Learned
1. Providence
Jesus will orchestrate amazing things—
  providence—to demonstrate how much
  he loves you, and others. We have to be
  open and ready to see him working!

Philippians 2:13
For it is God who works in you both to will
 and to do for His good pleasure.
Lessons to Be Learned

2. Everyone has a story!
Effective sharing of your faith includes
  telling others how God has worked in
  your life!

Philemon 1:6
…that the sharing of your faith may
 become effective by the
 acknowledgment of every good thing
Lessons to Be Learned

3. Substitution
Jesus took our place in death, so we
  could enjoy His place in life.
Philemon 1:17,18
…receive him as you would me…
…But if he has wronged you or owes
  anything, put that on my account.
Lessons to Be Learned
3. Substitution
2 Corinthians 8:9
For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus
  Christ, that though He was rich, yet for
  your sakes He became poor, that you
  through His poverty might become rich.
2 Corinthians 8:21
For He made Him who knew no sin to be
  sin for us, that we might become the
  righteousness of God in Him.
