Philemon 1:5-9

because I hear of your love and of the faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints;

and I pray that the fellowship of your faith may become effective through the knowledge of every good thing which is in you for the sake of Christ.

For I have had great joy and comfort in your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you, brother.

Therefore, though I have enough confidence in Christ to order you to do what is proper,

yet for love’s sake I rather appeal to you—since I am such a person as Paul, an old man, and now also a prisoner of Christ Jesus— Plea for Onesimus, a Free Man
