GOD’S WORD Translation

Paul’s Prayer for Philemon

⁴ ⌞Philemon,⌟ I always thank my God when I mention you in my prayers because ⁵ I hear about your faithfulness to the Lord Jesus and your love for all of God’s people. ⁶ As you share the faith you have in common with others, I pray that you may come to have a complete knowledge of every blessing we have in Christ. ⁷ Your love ⌞for God’s people⌟ gives me a lot of joy and encouragement. You, brother, have comforted God’s people.
