QR code
"The World English Bible (WEB): Philemon" by Anonymous is a brief epistolary work traditionally attributed to the Apostle Paul, likely written in the first century AD. This book takes the form of a letter addressed to Philemon, a Christian slave owner, concerning a runaway slave named Onesimus. The topic revolves around themes of forgiveness, reconciliation, and the transformation of relationships within the Christian community, reflecting the early Christian values of love and
brotherhood. In the letter, Paul appeals to Philemon to accept Onesimus back, not merely as a slave but as a beloved brother in Christ. Paul recounts how Onesimus has become useful in his own ministry while imprisoned and expresses his deep affection for both men. He emphasizes the importance of voluntary kindness over obligation, urging Philemon to receive Onesimus as he would receive Paul himself. The letter concludes with Paul expressing confidence in Philemon's willingness to go beyond his request, along with his hope to visit Philemon soon, fostering a sense of community and mutual support among early Christians.
