Philemon 1:1-7 ▼

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

2 and to Apphia, the sister, and to Archippus, our fellow-soldier, and to the assembly in your house:

3 grace to you, and peace, from God our Father and Lord Jesus Christ.

4 I give thanks to my God always, making mention of you in my prayers,

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

6 that the fellowship of your faith may become effectual, in the knowledge of every good thing in you, for Christ.

7 For I had much joy and consolation on account of your love, because the tender affections of the saints have been refreshed through you, brother.
