Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon, our beloved fellow worker,

2 

to the beloved Apphia, to Archippus, our fellow soldier, and to the assembly in your house:

3 

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

4 

I thank my God always, making mention of you in my prayers,

5 

hearing of your love, and of the faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all the saints;

6 

that the fellowship of your faith may become effective, in the knowledge of every good thing which is in us in Christ Jesus.

7 

For we have much joy and comfort in your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you, brother.
