Philemon

¹ Remind them to submit ⓝ 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 his 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, because they are unprofitable and worthless.

¹⁰ Reject a divisive ⓒ person after a first and second warning. ⓓ

¹¹ For you know that such a person has gone astray and is sinning; he is self-condemned.

¹² When I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, ⓔ make every effort to come to me ⓕ in Nicopolis, because 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 Let our people learn to devote themselves to good works for pressing needs, so that they will not be unfruitful. ⓘ

¹⁵ All those who are with me send you greetings. Greet those who love us in the faith. Grace be with all of you. ⓙ
