腓利门书
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
问安
1 为基督耶稣被囚禁的保罗,和提摩太弟兄,写信给我们所爱的,又一同作工的腓利门, 2 和亚腓亚姊妹,并我们的战友亚基布,以及在你家里的教会。 3 愿恩惠平安从我们的父 神和主耶稣基督临到你们。
称赞腓利门
4-5 我听见你对主耶稣和众圣徒有爱心和信心,我每逢祷告提到你的时候,就常常感谢我的 神。 6 愿你与众人分享你的信心的时候,会产生功效,使我们可以知道在我们中间的一切善事,都是为基督作的。 7 弟兄啊,众圣徒的心既然从你得到舒畅,我也因你的爱心,得到更大的喜乐和安慰。
为欧尼西慕请求
8 我在基督里虽然可以放胆吩咐你作应作的事, 9 然而像我这上了年纪的保罗,现在又是为基督耶稣被囚禁的,宁愿凭着爱心请求你, 10 就是为我在囚禁时所生的儿子欧尼西慕求你; 11 他从前对你没有甚么好处,但现在对你我都有好处。 12 我现在打发他亲自回到你那里去;他是我所心爱的。 13 我本来想把他留在我这里,使他在我为福音被囚禁时,可以替你服事我。 14 但还没有得到你的同意,我就不愿意这样作,好叫你的善行不是出于勉强,而是出于甘心。 15 也许他暂时离开你,正是为了使你永远得着他, 16 不再是奴隶,而是高过奴隶,是亲爱的弟兄。对我固然是这样,对你来说,不论按肉身或在主内的关系,更是这样。
17 所以,你要是把我看作同伴,就接纳他好象接纳我一样。 18 如果他使你受了损失,或欠你甚么,都记在我的帐上。 19 “我必偿还”,这是我保罗亲手写的。用不着我说,甚至你的生命,你也是欠我的。 20 所以弟兄啊!让我在主里得到你的帮助,使我的心在基督里得着畅快。
21 我深信你会听从,也知道你所作的必超过我所说的,因此才写信给你。 22 同时,还请你为我预备住的地方,因为我盼望借着你们的祷告,可以获得释放到你们那里去。
问候的话
23 为基督耶稣的缘故和我一同坐监的以巴弗, 24 以及我的同工马可、亚里达古、底马、路加都问候你。 25 愿主耶稣基督的恩惠常与你们同在。(“与你们同在”原文作“与你们的心灵同在”;好些抄本在这书末有“阿们”一词。)
腓利門書
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
1 我是為了傳揚基督耶穌而被囚禁的保羅,與提摩太弟兄寫信給我們親愛的同工腓利門弟兄、 2 亞腓亞姊妹和我們的戰友亞基布,以及在腓利門家裡聚會的弟兄姊妹。
3 願我們的父上帝和主耶穌基督賜給你們恩典和平安。
稱讚腓利門
4 腓利門弟兄,我常常在禱告中為你感謝上帝, 5 因為我聽說了你對主耶穌的信心和對眾聖徒的愛心。 6 我求上帝使你能有效地與人分享信仰,明白我們所做的一切美事都是為了基督。 7 弟兄啊,你的愛心給我帶來極大的喜樂和安慰,因為你使眾聖徒感到欣慰。
憑愛心求情
8 因此,我儘管可以奉基督的名吩咐你去做當做的事, 9 然而我這上了年紀又為基督耶穌的緣故被囚禁的保羅寧願憑愛心求你, 10 就是替阿尼西謀[a]求你。他是我在獄中帶領歸主的屬靈兒子, 11 他過去對你沒有什麼益處,但現在對你對我都有益處。
12 我現在派我深愛的阿尼西謀回你那裡。 13 我本想把他留在身邊,讓他在我為傳福音而坐牢期間代替你服侍我。 14 不過,未經你同意,我不願意這樣做,因為我盼望你的善行是出於甘心,而非勉強。 15 或許他暫時離開你是為了讓你以後永遠得到他。 16 你得到的不再是一個奴隸,而是一位遠超過奴隸的親愛弟兄。對我而言,的確如此,更何況對你呢!就肉身說你們是主僕,但在主裡你們是弟兄。
17 如果你當我是同伴,就請你像接納我一樣接納他。 18 如果他得罪你,或虧欠你什麼,都記在我的賬上吧。 19 我保羅在此親筆保證,我必償還。其實我不說你也知道,連你自己也欠我。
20 弟兄啊,看在主的份上,請你答應我的請求,在基督裡讓我的心得到安慰吧! 21 我寫信給你,深信你一定會照辦,甚至超過我的要求。 22 同時,也請你為我預備住處,因為我盼望藉著你們的禱告,我可以蒙恩到你們那裡。
問候
23 為了基督耶穌的緣故和我一同坐牢的以巴弗問候你。 24 此外,我的同工馬可、亞里達古、底馬和路加都問候你。
25 願我們主耶穌基督的恩典與你們同在。阿們!

Philemon
Revised Standard Version
Salutation
1 Paul, a prisoner for Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother,
To Phile′mon our beloved fellow worker 2 and Ap′phia our sister and Archip′pus our fellow soldier, and the church in your house:
3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Philemon’s Love and Faith
4 I thank my God always when I remember you in my prayers, 5 because I hear of your love and of the faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus and all the saints, 6 and I pray that the sharing of your faith may promote the knowledge of all the good that is ours in Christ. 7 For I have derived much joy and comfort from your love, my brother, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you.
Paul’s Plea for Onesimus
8 Accordingly, though I am bold enough in Christ to command you to do what is required, 9 yet for love’s sake I prefer to appeal to you—I, Paul, an ambassador[a] and now a prisoner also for Christ Jesus— 10 I appeal to you for my child, Ones′imus, whose father I have become in my imprisonment. 11 (Formerly he was useless to you, but now he is indeed useful[b] to you and to me.) 12 I am sending him back to you, sending my very heart. 13 I would have been glad to keep him with me, in order that he might serve me on your behalf during my imprisonment for the gospel; 14 but I preferred to do nothing without your consent in order that your goodness might not be by compulsion but of your own free will.
15 Perhaps this is why he was parted from you for a while, that you might have him back for ever, 16 no longer as a slave but more than a slave, as a beloved brother, especially to me but how much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord. 17 So if you consider me your partner, receive him as you would receive me. 18 If he has wronged you at all, or owes you anything, charge that to my account. 19 I, Paul, write this with my own hand, I will repay it—to say nothing of your owing me even your own self. 20 Yes, brother, I want some benefit from you in the Lord. Refresh my heart in Christ.
21 Confident of your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even more than I say. 22 At the same time, prepare a guest room for me, for I am hoping through your prayers to be granted to you.
Final Greetings and Benediction
23 Ep′aphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, sends greetings to you, 24 and so do Mark, Aristar′chus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers.
25 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
