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

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

hearing of thy love and faith that thou hast unto the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints,

that the fellowship of thy faith may become working in the full knowledge of every good thing that is in you toward Christ Jesus;

because of the love I rather entreat, being such an one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ;

Salute thee doth Epaphras, (my fellow-captive in Christ Jesus,)

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