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

For I see that you're being poisoned by bitterness and you're a prisoner of wickedness!"

So the centurion took him, brought him to the tribune, and said, "The prisoner Paul called me and asked me to bring this young man to you. He has something to tell you."

For it seems to me absurd to send a prisoner without specifying the charges against him."

but I see in my body a different principle waging war with the Law in my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin that exists in my body.

For this reason I, Paul, am the prisoner of the Messiah Jesus for the sake of you gentiles.

I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, urge you to live in a way that is worthy of the calling to which you have been called,

Therefore, never be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord or of me, his prisoner. Instead, by God's power, join me in suffering for the sake of the gospel.

May the Lord grant mercy to the family of Onesiphorus, for he often took care of me and was not ashamed that I was a prisoner.

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,

Meanwhile, I thought it best to send Epaphroditus my brother, fellow worker, and fellow soldier, but your messenger and minister to my need back to you.

We know that God has spoken to Moses, but we do not know where this fellow comes from."

Then Thomas, who was called the Twin, told his fellow disciples, "Let's go, too, so that we may die with him!"

At this, they shouted out again, "Not this fellow, but Barabbas!" Now Barabbas was a revolutionary.

From then on, Pilate tried to release him, but the Jewish leaders kept shouting, "If you release this fellow, you're not a friend of Caesar! Anyone who claims to be a king is defying Caesar!"

Then the Jewish high priests told Pilate, "Don't write, "The King of the Jews,' but that this fellow said, "I am the King of the Jews.'"

"Fellow Israelis, listen to these words: Jesus from Nazareth was a man authenticated to you by God through miracles, wonders, and signs that God performed through him among you, as you yourselves know.

When Peter saw this, he told the people: "Fellow Israelis, why are you wondering about this, and why are you staring at us as if by our own power or godliness we made him walk?

After they were released, Peter and John went to their fellow believers and told them everything the high priests and the elders had said.

Then he told them, "Fellow Israelis, consider carefully what you propose to do to these men.

The city was filled with confusion, and the people rushed into the theater together, dragging with them Gaius and Aristarchus, Paul's fellow travelers from Macedonia.

Up to this point they listened to him, but then they began to shout, "Away with such a fellow from the earth! He's not fit to go on living!"

Greet Andronicus and Junia, my fellow Jews who are in prison with me and are prominent among the apostles. They belonged to the Messiah before I did.

Greet Herodion, my fellow Jew. Greet those in the family of Narcissus, who belong to the Lord.

As for Titus, he is my partner and fellow worker on your behalf. Our brothers, emissaries from the churches, are bringing glory to the Messiah.

That is why you are no longer strangers and foreigners but fellow citizens with the saints and members of God's household,

Yes, I also ask you, my true partner, to help these women. They have worked hard with me to advance the gospel, along with Clement and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the Book of Life.

You learned about this gospel from Epaphras, our dear fellow servant, who is a faithful minister of the Messiah on your behalf.

Tychicus will tell you everything that has happened to me. He is a dear brother, a faithful minister, and a fellow servant in the Lord.

Jesus, who is called Justus, also greets you. These are the only ones of the circumcision who are fellow workers for the kingdom of God. They have been an encouragement to me.

Moreover, those who have believing masters should be respectful to them, because they are fellow believers. In fact, they must serve them even better, because those who benefit from their service are believers and dear to them. These are the things you must teach and exhort.

All who are with me send you greetings. Greet our fellow believers who love us. May grace be with all of you! Amen.

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.

I bowed down at his feet to worship him, but he told me, "Don't do that! I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers who rely on what Jesus is saying. Worship God, because what Jesus is saying is the spirit of prophecy!"

But he told me, "Don't do that! I am a fellow servant with you, your brothers the prophets, and those who keep the words in this book. Worship God!"

Then his fellow servant fell down and began begging him, "Be patient with me and I will repay you!'
