Paul, a prisoner for Jesus Christ, and brother Timothy, to our dear fellow-worker Philemon,

God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ bless you and give you peace.

for what I hear of the love and faith you have in the Lord Jesus and all his people,

I prefer to appeal to you in the name of love, simply as what I am??aul, no less an envoy of Christ Jesus, though now a prisoner for him

Epaphras, my fellow-prisoner for Christ Jesus, wishes to be remembered to you,

The blessing of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirits.
