²³ You should know that ^(A)our brother Timothy has been released, with whom I shall see you if he comes soon.

Greeting

¹ Paul, ^(A)a prisoner for Christ Jesus, and ^(B)Timothy our brother,

To Philemon our beloved fellow worker

² and we ^(A)sent Timothy, ^(B)our brother and God's coworker^[a] in the gospel of Christ, to establish and exhort you in your faith,

¹⁴ I said to him, “Sir, you know.” And he said to me, “These are the ones coming out of ^(A)the great tribulation. ^(B)They have washed their robes and ^(C)made them white ^(D)in the blood of the Lamb.

²² At the same time, prepare a guest room for me, for ^(A)I am hoping that ^(B)through your prayers ^(C)I will be graciously given to you.

⁸ Therefore ^(A)do not be ashamed of ^(B)the testimony about our Lord, nor of ^(C)me his prisoner, but ^(D)share in suffering for the gospel by the power of God,

^12 (A)Fight the good fight of the faith. ^(B)Take hold of the eternal life ^(C)to which you were called and about which you made ^(D)the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.

²⁸ When therefore I have completed this and have delivered to them what has been collected,^[a] I will leave ^(A)for Spain by way of you.

²⁵ At present, however, ^(A)I am going to Jerusalem bringing aid to the saints.
