[1] Paul, a
prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy, a brother: to Philemon, our
beloved and fellow labourer; [2] And to
Appia, our dearest sister, and to Archippus, our fellow soldier, and to
the church which is in thy house: [3] Grace to
you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
[4] I give
thanks to my God, always making a remembrance of thee in my prayers. [5]
Hearing
of thy charity and faith, which thou hast in the Lord Jesus, and
towards all the saints: [6] That the
communication of thy faith may be made evident in the acknowledgment of
every good work, that is in you in Christ Jesus.
[21]
Trusting in thy obedience, I have written to thee: knowing that thou
wilt also do more than I say.
[22] But
withal prepare me also a lodging. For I hope that through your prayers
I shall be given unto you. [23] There
salute thee Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus; [24] Mark,
Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke my fellow labourers. [25] The
grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
