10 I beseech G3870 thee G4571 for G4012 my G1699 son G5043 Onesimus, G3682 whom G3739 I have begotten G1080 in G1722 my G3450 bonds: G1199
11 Which G3588 in time past G4218 was G890 to thee G4671 unprofitable, G890 but G1161 now G3570 profitable G2173 to thee G4671 and G2532 to me: G1698
12 Whom G3739 I have sent again: G375 thou G4771 therefore G1161 receive G4355 him, G846 that is, G5123 mine own G1699 bowels: G4698
13 Whom G3739 I G1473 would G1014 have retained G2722 with G4314 me, G1683 that G2443 in thy G4675 stead G5228 he might have ministered G1247 unto me G3427 in G1722 the bonds G1199 of the gospel: G2098
14 But G1161 without G5565 thy G4674 mind G1106 would G2309 I do G4160 nothing; G3762 that G3363 thy G4675 benefit G18 should G5600 not G3363 be G5600 as G5613 it were of G2596 necessity, G318 but G235 willingly. G1595 G2596
15 For G1063 G1223 perhaps G5029 he G5563 therefore G5124 departed G5563 for G4314 a season, G5610 that G2443 thou shouldest receive G568 him G846 for ever; G166
16 Not now G3765 as G5613 a servant, G1401 but G235 above G5228 a servant, G1401 a brother G80 beloved, G27 specially G3122 to me, G1698 but G1161 how much G4214 more G3123 unto thee, G4671 both G2532 in G1722 the flesh, G4561 and G2532 in G1722 the Lord? G2962
17 If G1487 thou count G2192 me G1691 therefore G3767 a partner, G2844 receive G4355 him G846 as G5613 myself. G1691
18 If G1161 G1487 he hath wronged G91 thee, G4571 or G2228 oweth G3784 thee ought, G5100 put G1677 that G5124 on G1677 mine account; G1698
19 I G1473 Paul G3972 have written G1125 it with mine own G1699 hand, G5495 I G1473 will repay G661 it: albeit G3363 I do G3004 not G3363 say G3004 to thee G4671 how G3754 thou owest G4359 unto me G3427 even G2532 thine own self G4572 besides. G4359

Commentary on Philemon 1 Matthew Henry Commentary
Chapter 1
In this epistle we have,
Phm 1:1-7
Phm 1:8-25
We have here,
Amen is added, not only for strong and affectionate summing up the prayer and wish, so let it be; but as an expression of faith that it will be heard, so shall it be. And what need we more to make us happy than to have the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ with our spirit? This is the usual benediction, but it may be taken here to have some special respect also to the occasion; the grace of Christ with their spirits, Philemon's especially, would sweeten and mollify them, take off too deep and keen resentments of injuries, and dispose to forgive others as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven us.
