23Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in the Messiah Jesus, sends you greetings,

1From: Paul, a prisoner of the Messiah Jesus, and Timothy our brother. To: Philemon our dear friend and fellow worker,

I prefer to make my appeal on the basis of love. I, Paul, as an old man and now a prisoner of the Messiah Jesus,

2to Apphia our sister, to Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the church in your house.

24as do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers.
