Philemon, each time I mention you in my prayers, I thank God.
First, I thank God in the name of Jesus Christ for all of you. I do this because people everywhere in the world are talking about your faith.
So I never stop being grateful for you, as I mention you in my prayers.
Every time I think of you, I thank my God.
Each time we pray for you, we thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
We thank God for you and always mention you in our prayers. Each time we pray,
My dear friends, we always have good reason to thank God for you, because your faith in God and your love for each other keep growing all the time.
Night and day I mention you in my prayers. I am always grateful for you, as I pray to the God my ancestors and I have served with a clear conscience.
I hear about your faith in our Lord Jesus and about your love for all of God's people.
