Description
"The Bible, King James version, Book 57: Philemon by Anonymous" is a New Testament epistle written around AD 57–62. This prison letter from Paul the Apostle addresses Philemon, a wealthy Christian leader, about Onesimus, a slave who escaped but became a Christian through Paul. Paul appeals for reconciliation, requesting that Philemon receive Onesimus not as property but as a beloved brother in Christ. The shortest of Paul's letters explores themes of forgiveness, Christian fellowship, and transformed relationships within Roman society's structures. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
