Paul a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy a brother, to Philemon our beloved brother and fellow-laborer, and to the beloved Apphia,

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

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

that the communication of thy faith may become effectual in the acknowledgement of all the good that is in you towards Christ Jesus:

I would rather intreat thee out of love to me, being such a one as Paul the aged, and now a prisoner too for the sake of Jesus Christ.

Epaphras my fellow-prisoner in Christ Jesus, and Marcus,

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