Key Verses:

• Philemon 15-18

 

This is a personal letter from the aged Paul to Philemon who is both a believer and a slave owner. He had a slave called Onesimus who escaped and disappeared. Paul met Onesimus, probably in Rome, and he became a Christian and a helper of Paul.

Paul asks that Philemon graciously love and forgive him, receive him back and treat him not just as a slave but as a brother in Christ. Although there is no suggestion that this should be the end of slavery if this action was accepted it would eventually lead to the end of that awful institution.
