1From Paul, who is in jail for serving Christ Jesus, and from Timothy, who is like a brother because of our faith.
Philemon, you work with us and are very dear to us. This letter is to you
2and to the church that meets in your home. It is also to our dear friend Apphia and to Archippus, who serves the Lord as we do.
3I pray that God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ will be kind to you and will bless you with peace!
Philemon's love and faith4Philemon, each time I mention you in my prayers, I thank God.
5I hear about your faith in our Lord Jesus and about your love for all God's people.
6As you share your faith with others, I pray that they may come to know-all the blessings Christ has given us.
7My friend, your love has made me happy and has greatly encouraged me. It has also cheered the hearts of God's people.
Paul speaks to Philemon about Onesimus8Christ gives me the courage to tell you what to do.
9But I would rather ask you to do it simply because of love. Yes, as someone in jail for Christ,
10I beg you to help Onesimus! He is like a son to me because I led him to Christ here in jail.
25I pray that the Lord Jesus Christ will be kind to you!
