SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 4–7: Paul thanks God for Philemon and prays for him

After Paul greeted Philemon and his friends, Paul thanked God for him and prayed for him. This is the way he started most of his letters. For other examples, see Philippians 1:3–11 and Colossians 1:3–14. Before he asked Philemon to do something, Paul wanted to tell Philemon how much he loved and respected him. Paul thanked God because Philemon had faith in the Lord Jesus, and because he loved God’s people. This love gave Paul great joy. And Paul prayed that Philemon’s fellowship with other believers would increase and deepen because he (Philemon) knows the good things that God has given believers.

In this Section Paul wrote directly to Philemon. He used only “you (sing)” in verses 4–21, not “you (plur)” as he did in the beginning and end of the letter.

Read verses 4–7 carefully in the BSB and the GNT, and then read the following notes before translating.

7a

I take great joy and encouragement in your love,

Some translations use a connecting word at the beginning of this verse to show that verse 7 is another reason why Paul thanked God. See also verse 4. For example:

For (RSV)

your love: Philemon was showing that he loved God’s people. This refers to the love that Paul thanked God for in verse 5.

encouragement: When Philemon showed that he loved God’s people, it helped to strengthen Paul’s ability to trust God and it helped to comfort him while he was in prison.

7b

because you, brother, have refreshed the hearts of the saints.

because you, brother, have refreshed the hearts of the saints: Paul was very happy because Philemon had caused God’s people to be happy.

because: Paul was thinking about a specific way that Philemon had showed God’s people that he loved them when he mentioned Philemon’s love in 7a. Verse 7b explains what specific way of showing love Paul was thinking about in 7a.

brother: See the note on verse 1b.

refreshed: (GNT:) “cheered.” This means when someone causes someone else to rest, to feel better, to be happy, to have new courage, to be encouraged.

the hearts of the saints: This refers to the way God’s people felt in their inner selves, in their souls.

General Comment on 1:7

Here are two different ways to translate verse 7:

My brother, you love God’s people and you have made them happy. This gives me great joy and comfort.

Brother, you love your fellow believers there and it causes me to feel great joy. It has also strengthened my faith because you have caused God’s people to be happy.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

χαρὰν γὰρ πολλὴν ἔσχον καὶ παράκλησιν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: χαράν Γάρ πολλήν ἔσχον καί παράκλησιν ἐπί τῇ ἀγάπῃ σοῦ ὅτι τά σπλάγχνα τῶν ἁγίων ἀναπέπαυται διά σοῦ ἀδελφέ)

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind the abstract nouns joy and comfort with adjectives. Alternate translation: [For you made me very joyful and comforted]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἐπὶ τῇ ἀγάπῃ σου

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: χαράν Γάρ πολλήν ἔσχον καί παράκλησιν ἐπί τῇ ἀγάπῃ σοῦ ὅτι τά σπλάγχνα τῶν ἁγίων ἀναπέπαυται διά σοῦ ἀδελφέ)

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind the abstract noun love with a verb. Alternate translation: [because you love people]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

τὰ σπλάγχνα τῶν ἁγίων ἀναπέπαυται διὰ σοῦ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: χαράν Γάρ πολλήν ἔσχον καί παράκλησιν ἐπί τῇ ἀγάπῃ σοῦ ὅτι τά σπλάγχνα τῶν ἁγίων ἀναπέπαυται διά σοῦ ἀδελφέ)

If your language does not use this passive form, you can state this in active form. Alternate translation: [you have refreshed the inward parts of the saints]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

τὰ σπλάγχνα τῶν ἁγίων

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: χαράν Γάρ πολλήν ἔσχον καί παράκλησιν ἐπί τῇ ἀγάπῃ σοῦ ὅτι τά σπλάγχνα τῶν ἁγίων ἀναπέπαυται διά σοῦ ἀδελφέ)

Here, inward parts refers to a person’s emotions or inner being. Use the figure that is normal in your language for this, such as “hearts” or “livers,” or give the plain meaning. Alternate translation: [the thoughts and feelings of the saints]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τὰ σπλάγχνα τῶν ἁγίων ἀναπέπαυται διὰ σοῦ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: χαράν Γάρ πολλήν ἔσχον καί παράκλησιν ἐπί τῇ ἀγάπῃ σοῦ ὅτι τά σπλάγχνα τῶν ἁγίων ἀναπέπαυται διά σοῦ ἀδελφέ)

Here, being refreshed refers to the feeling of encouragement or relief. Alternate translation: [you have encouraged the saints] or [you have helped the believers]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

σοῦ, ἀδελφέ

˱of˲_you you brother

Paul called Philemon brother because they were both believers, and he wanted to emphasize their friendship. Alternate translation: [you, dear brother] or [you, dear friend]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

1:4-7 In his letters, Paul usually thanks God for the faith and love of his readers and mentions his prayers for them (Rom 1:8-12; 1 Cor 1:4-9; 2 Cor 1:3-11; contrast Gal 1:6-10). Ancient Greek letters occasionally included a section of thanksgiving following the greeting.
