Philemon

¹ Remind them to be submissive ⓐ to rulers and authorities, to obey, to be ready for every good work,

² to slander no one, to avoid fighting, and to be kind, always showing gentleness ⓑ to all people.

³ For we too were once foolish, disobedient, deceived, enslaved by various passions ⓒ and pleasures, ⓓ living in malice and envy, hateful, detesting one another.

⁴ But when the kindness of God our Savior and His love for mankind appeared, ⓔ

⁵ He saved us ⓕ — not by works of righteousness that we had done, ⓖ but according to His mercy, ⓗ through the washing of regeneration ⓘ and renewal by the Holy Spirit. ⓙ

⁶ He poured out this Spirit on us abundantly ⓚ through Jesus Christ our Savior,

⁷ so that having been justified by His grace, ⓛ we may become heirs with the hope of eternal life. ⓜ

⁸ This saying is trustworthy. ⓝ I want you to insist on these things, so that those who have believed God might be careful to devote themselves to good works. These are good and profitable for everyone.

⁹ But avoid foolish debates, ⓞ genealogies, ⓟ quarrels, ⓠ and disputes about the law, for they are unprofitable and worthless.

¹⁰ Reject a divisive ⓡ person after a first and second warning, ⓢ

¹¹ knowing that such a person is perverted and sins, being self-condemned.

¹² When I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, ⓣ make every effort to come to me ⓤ in Nicopolis, for I have decided to spend the winter there.

¹³ Diligently help Zenas the lawyer and Apollos ⓥ on their journey, so that they will lack ⓦ nothing.

¹⁴ And our people must also learn to devote themselves to good works for cases of urgent need, so that they will not be unfruitful. ⓧ

¹⁵ All those who are with me greet you. Greet those who love us in the faith. Grace be with all of you. ⓨ
