Philemon 1:5
3 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
4 I always thank my God, remembering you in my prayers,
because I hear about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints.
6 I pray that your partnership in the faith may become effective as you fully acknowledge every good thing that is ours in Christ.
7 I take great joy and encouragement in your love, because you, brother, have refreshed the hearts of the saints.
