Philemon 1:5-9
Philemon 1:5
Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints;
Philemon 1:6
That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.
Philemon 1:7
For we have great joy and consolation in thy love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother.
Philemon 1:8
Wherefore, though I might be much bold in Christ to enjoin thee that which is convenient,
Philemon 1:9
Yet for love’s sake I rather beseech thee, being such an one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.
