Bible (KJV) NT 18: Philemon
'Bible (KJV) NT 18: Philemon' Summary
Paul's letter to Philemon is a personal plea for forgiveness and reconciliation. Philemon, a wealthy Christian, owns a slave named Onesimus, who has run away and ended up in Rome where he met Paul. While in prison, Paul converted Onesimus to Christianity and came to see him as a spiritual son. Knowing that Onesimus is returning to Philemon, Paul writes this letter, urging Philemon to receive Onesimus not as a slave but as a brother in Christ. Paul emphasizes the importance of forgiveness and reconciliation, arguing that Onesimus should be treated as an equal, and that Philemon should consider him as a debt owed to Paul. Paul's letter is a powerful reminder of the transformative power of grace and love, and its message continues to resonate with readers today. It highlights the importance of treating all people with dignity and respect, regardless of their social status or past actions.Book Details
