Paul, prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timotheus the brother, to Philemon the beloved and our fellow-workman,

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

hearing of thy love and the faith which thou hast towards the Lord Jesus, and towards all the saints,

in such sort that thy participation in the faith should become operative in the acknowledgment of every good thing which is in us towards Christ Jesus.

for love's sake I rather exhort, being such a one as Paul the aged, and now also prisoner of Jesus Christ.

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

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
