# Philemon, our dear friend ... Apphia our sister ... Archippus our fellow soldier
|

|
|
|

The word "our" here refers to Paul and those with him but not to the reader. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-exclusive]])

# Apphia our sister
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Here "sister" means she was a believer, and not a relative. AT: "Apphia our fellow believer" or "Apphia our spiritual sister" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-names]])

# Archippus
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is the name of a man in the church with Philemon. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-names]])

# our fellow soldier
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Paul speaks here of Archippus as if they were both soldiers in an army. He means that Archippus works hard, as Paul himself works hard, to spread the gospel. AT: "our fellow spiritual warrior" or "who also fights the spiritual battle with us" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
