Philemon 1:1-7

From: Sha’ul, a prisoner for the sake of the Messiah Yeshua, and brother Timothy To: Our dear fellow-worker Philemon,

along with sister Apphia, our fellow-soldier Archippus and the congregation that gathers in your home:

Grace and shalom to you from God our Father and the Lord Yeshua the Messiah.

I thank my God every time I mention you in my prayers, Philemon,

for I am hearing about your love and commitment to the Lord Yeshua and to all God’s people.

I pray that the fellowship based on your commitment will produce full understanding of every good thing that is ours in union with the Messiah.

For your love has given me much joy and encouragement. Brother, you have refreshed the hearts of God’s people.
