1 Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy our brother, unto Philemon our dearly beloved, and fellow laborer,
2 And to our beloved Apphia, and Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the church in your house:
3 Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
4 I thank my God, making mention of you always in my prayers,
5 Hearing of your love and faith, which you have toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints;
6 That the sharing of your faith may become effective by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.
7 For we have great joy and consolation in your love, because the hearts of the saints are refreshed by you, brother.
