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

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

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

that the fellowship of your faith may become effective, in the knowledge of every good thing which is in us in Christ Jesus.

yet for love's sake I rather beg, being such a one as Paul, the aged, but also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.

Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, greets you,

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