The Epistle of Paul to Philemon

Paul handling a base and small matter, yet according to his manner mounteth aloft unto God. 8 Sending again to Philemon his vagabond and thievish servant, he entreateth pardon for him, and very gravely preacheth of Christian equity.

Paul a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and our brother Timothy, unto Philemon our dear friend, and fellow helper,

And to our dear sister Apphia, and to Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the Church that is in thine house:

Grace be with you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
