1 From Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon, our dear friend and colaborer,
2 to Apphia our sister, to Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the church that meets in your house.
3 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!
4 I always thank my God as I remember you in my prayers,
5 because I hear of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints.
6 I pray that the faith you share with us may deepen your understanding of every blessing that belongs to you in Christ.
