Philemon 1:4-7

4I thank my God always, making mention of you in my prayers,

5because I hear of your love and of your faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints (God’s people).

6I pray that the sharing of your faith may become effective and powerful because of your accurate knowledge of every good thing which is ours in Christ.

7For I have had great joy and comfort and encouragement from your love, because the hearts of the saints (God’s people) have been refreshed through you, my brother.
