PAUL, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy my brother, to Philemon my beloved, and our fellow-laborer,

grace be to you all, and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

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

that your participation in the faith may be active in the acknowledgment of every good thing that is in us, to the honor of Christ Jesus.

yet, on account of my love, I rather exhort you, being such a one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner on account of Jesus Christ.

Epaphras, my fellow-prisoner in Christ Jesus, salutes you:

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirits. Amen.
