Philemon 1:1, 3, 6, 9, 25

Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, To Philemon our dear friend and fellow worker

Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

I pray that your partnership with us in the faith may be effective in deepening your understanding of every good thing we share for the sake of Christ.

yet I prefer to appeal to you on the basis of love. It is as none other than Paul—an old man and now also a prisoner of Christ Jesus

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
