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

Philemon’s Love and Faith

(B)I thank my God always, making mention of you in my prayers, because I (C)hear of your love and of the faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus and toward all the [a]saints; and I pray that the fellowship of your faith may become effective [b]through the (D)knowledge of every good thing which is in you [c]for the sake of Christ. For I have had great (E)joy and comfort in your love, because the [d]hearts of the [e]saints have been (F)refreshed through you, brother.
