Philemon

The Epistle to Philemon, written during Paul's first imprisonment in Rome, was probably carried to Philemon, a well-to-do citizen of Colosse, by the same messenger who bore the Ephesian and Colossian letters, Tychicus. The messenger had, as his companion, Onesimus (Col.4:9). Onesimus, whose name means profitable (or useful), had been unprofitable to his master Philemon (v.11); for the slave had probably robbed the master (v18) and had fled to Rome. There he was converted through Paul's ministry, and now Paul was sending him back accompanied by Tychicus and this letter. It is of priceless value as instruction in (1) practical righteousness;(2) Christian brotherhood;(3) Christian courtesy; and (4) the law of love.
