Philemon 6-8

New Testament for Everyone

⁶ My prayer is this: that the partnership which goes with your faith may have its powerful effect, in realizing every good thing that is at work in us to lead us into the Messiah. ⁷ You see, my dear brother, your love gives me so much joy and comfort! You have refreshed the hearts of God’s people.

Paul’s appeal

⁸ Because of all this I could be very bold in the Messiah, and order you to do the right thing.
