Philemon

A wealthy Christian in Colossae whose runaway slave became Paul's spiritual son

About

A prominent believer who hosted a house church in Colossae. Paul's letter to him is a masterclass in persuasion — asking him to forgive his runaway slave Onesimus and welcome him back as a brother in Christ. The letter quietly undermines the entire institution of slavery.
