We thank God for you and always mention you in our prayers. Each time we pray,
You used to be slaves of sin. But I thank God that with all your heart you obeyed the teaching you received from me.
I never stop thanking my God for being kind enough to give you Christ Jesus,
Each time we pray for you, we thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
We always thank God that you believed the message we preached. It came from him, and it isn't something made up by humans. You accepted it as God's message, and now he is working in you.
How can we possibly thank God enough for all the happiness you have brought us?
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.
Philemon, each time I mention you in my prayers, I thank God.
