Philemon 6-8

⁶ I pray that the ·faith you share [the sharing/fellowship of your faith] may ·make you [enable/empower you to] understand every blessing we have in Christ. ⁷ I have great joy and comfort, my brother, because the love you have shown to ·God’s people [^Tthe saints] has refreshed ·them [their hearts; ^Ltheir inward parts; ^Cthe seat of emotions].

⁸ So, in Christ, I could be bold and order you to do what is ·right [required; proper; your duty].
