Philemon 4-7

Expanded Bible

Philemon’s Love and Faith

⁴ I always thank my God when I ·mention [remember] you in my prayers, ⁵ because I hear about the love you have for all ·God’s holy people [^Tthe saints] and the faith you have in the Lord Jesus. 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].
