Epistle to Philemon 1, MKJV

1 Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon the beloved and fellow laborer,

2 and to Apphia the beloved, 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, making mention of you always in my prayers,

5 hearing of your love and faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints,

6 that the fellowship of your faith may operate in a full knowledge of every good thing in you in Christ Jesus.

7 For we have great joy and consolation over your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed by you, brother.
