Philemon
3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
4 I thank my God, making mention of you always in my prayers,
5 hearing of your love and faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus and
toward all the saints,
6 that the sharing of your faith may become effective by the acknowledgment
of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.
7 For we have great joy and consolation in your love, because the hearts of the saints
have been refreshed by you, brother.

[Minister Monardo]

In union with Christ, we share our faith working through love.

Yes, with an appeal for mercy on behalf of the runaway slave Onesimus.
8 Therefore, though I might be very bold in Christ to command you what is fitting,
9 yet for love’s sake I rather appeal to you—being such a one as Paul, the aged,
and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ—
10 I appeal to you for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten while in my chains,
11 who once was unprofitable to you, but now is profitable to you and to me.
