1. Ὁ Παῦλος, ὁ φυλακισμένος τοῦ Χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ, καὶ ὁ Τιμόθεος ὁ ἀδελφός, πρὸς τὸν Φιλήμονα τὸν ἀγαπητὸν καὶ συνεργάτην μας,
2. καὶ πρὸς τὴν Ἀπφίαν, τὴν ἀγαπητήν, καὶ πρὸς τὸν Ἄρχιππον, τὸν συστρατιώτην μας, καὶ πρὸς τὴν ἐκκλησίαν τοῦ σπιτιοῦ σου·
3. χάρις νὰ εἶναι σ᾽ ἐσᾶς καὶ εἰρήνη ἀπὸ τὸν Θεὸν τὸν Πατέρα μας καὶ τὸν Κύριον Ἰησοῦν Χριστόν.
4. Εὐχαριστῶ τὸν Θεόν μου πάντοτε, ὅταν σὲ ἀναφέρω εἰς τὰς προσευχάς μου,
5. διότι ἀκούω τὴν ἀγάπην σου καὶ τὴν πίστιν ποὺ ἔχεις πρὸς τὸν Κύριον Ἰησοῦν καὶ εἰς ὅλους τοὺς ἁγίους,
