Philemon 1-7
Philemon’s Love and Faith

Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, To Philemon our beloved brother and fellow worker, 2 and to Apphia our sister, and to Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the church in your house: 3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 4 I thank my God, always making mention of you in my prayers, 5 because I hear of your love and of the faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints; 6 and I pray that the fellowship of your faith may become effective through the full knowledge of every good thing which is in you for the sake of Christ. 7 For I have come to have much joy and comfort in your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you, brother.
