Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
σοῦ, ἀδελφέ
you brother
Paul called Philemon brother because they were both believers, and he wanted to emphasize their friendship. Alternate translation: “you, dear brother” or “you, dear friend”
1:4-7 In his letters, Paul usually thanks God for the faith and love of his readers and mentions his prayers for them (Rom 1:8-12; 1 Cor 1:4-9; 2 Cor 1:3-11; contrast Gal 1:6-10). Ancient Greek letters occasionally included a section of thanksgiving following the greeting.

OET (OET-RV) Because I was very happy and encouraged by your love, because the hearts of the believers have been refreshed by you, brother.
