1. Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon, our dear friend and fellow worker,
2. and to Apphia our sister, and to 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, always making mention of you in my prayers,
5. because I hear about your love and faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus and for all the saints.
6. I pray that the fellowship of your faith may become effective in the knowledge of every good thing that is in us for Christ.
