Philemon1:6

6 That the communication of thy faith , may become effectuall , by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus .

The word sometimes signifieth communion, in all which there is a mutual communication betwixt those with whom the communion is. That thou mayest declare that thou hast the same common Faith with us, thou communicatest the fruits of it.

And shewest that it is not a dead inoperative Faith, but the true Faith of Gods Elect, Titus 1.1. working by Love, Gal. 5.6. and shewing it self by good works, Iam. 2.18.

That every good thing, every good habit of Grace which Jesus Christ hath wrought in thy Soul might be acknowledged by others (the Servants of Christ) to whom thou declarest thy Love and Goodness.
