===Thanksgiving and intercession (4β7)=== Before addressing the main topic of the letter, Paul continues with a paragraph of thanksgiving and intercession. This serves to prepare the ground for Paul's central request. He gives thanks to God for Philemon's love and faith and prays for his faith to be effective. He concludes this paragraph by describing the joy and comfort he has received from knowing how Philemon has shown love towards the Christians in Colossae.{{sfn|O'Brien|1982|p=283}} [[File:English - Rochester Bible - Walters W18 - Reverse Detail.jpg|thumb|Beginning of Philemon in the Rochester Bible (12th century), starting with {{small|{{lang|la|PAVLVS VINCTVS IHV XPI}}}}, "Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christβ¦"]]
