Philemon 1:1-7

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

And to Appia, our dearest sister, and to Archippus, our fellow soldier, and to the church which is in thy house.

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

I give thanks to my God, always making a remembrance of thee in my prayers.

Hearing of thy charity and faith, which thou hast in the Lord Jesus and towards all the saints:

That the communication of thy faith may be made evident in the acknowledgment of every good work that is in you in Christ Jesus.

For I have had great joy and consolation in thy charity, because the bowels of the saints have been refreshed by thee, brother.
