Philemon 1:1-9
11Paul, 2a prisoner of 3Christ Jesus, and 4Timothy 5our brother,
To Philemon our beloved brother and 6fellow worker, 2and to Apphia 78our sister, and to 9Archippus our 10fellow soldier, and to 11the church in your house: 312Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
413I thank my God always, making mention of you in my prayers, 5because I 14hear of your love and of the faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus and toward all the 15saints; 6and I pray that the fellowship of your faith may become effective 16through the 17knowledge of every good thing which is in you 18for the sake of Christ. 7For I have had great 19joy and comfort in your love, because the 20hearts of the 21saints have been 22refreshed through you, brother.
8Therefore, 23though I have 24enough confidence in Christ to order you to do what is 25proper, 9yet for love’s sake I rather 26appeal to you--since I am such a person as Paul, 27an 28old man, and now also 29a prisoner of 30Christ Jesus--
