I am a prisoner because of the Lord. So I am asking you to live a life worthy of what God chose you for.

I, Paul, am writing this letter. I am a prisoner because of Christ Jesus. Our brother Timothy joins me in writing. Philemon, we are sending you this letter. You are our dear friend. You work together with us.

It is right for me to feel this way about all of you. I love you with all my heart. I may be held by chains, or I may be standing up for the truth of the good news. Either way, all of you share in God’s grace together with me.

He almost died for the work of Christ. He put his life in danger to make up for the help you yourselves couldn’t give me.

I, Paul, am a prisoner because of Christ Jesus. I am in prison because of my work among you who are Gentiles.

I was glad when Stephanas, Fortunatus and Achaicus arrived. They have supplied me with what you couldn’t give me.
