Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy the brother, to Philemon our beloved and co-workman,

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

hearing of thy love and faith, which thou have toward the Lord Jesus and for all the sanctified,

so that the fellowship of thy faith may become potent (in the knowledge of every good thing in us) for Christ Jesus.

because of love I rather beseech, being such as aged Paul, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.

Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, salutes thee,

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is with your spirit. Truly.
