From Paul, a prisoner for Christ Jesus, and from our brother Timothy, to our dear fellow worker Philemon and the church that meets in your house. Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ

I am so happy that your faith and love have given great encouragement to the believers

Jesus, bless all house church groups and meetings

While here in prison, I have helped someone you know
to become a believer. He is carrying this letter - Onesimus

I'm sending him back to you, no longer your slave,
but your brother in Christ

Please welcome him as you would welcome me.
And let me pay for anything he stole from you

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you

Jesus, please put an end to slavery in the world
