Philemon 1 with Commentaries, verse by verse

Philemon
This is shortest epistle that Paul wrote. Paul met Onesimus, while a prisoner in Rome (v.11). He wrote to Philemon to accept his slave Onesimus back. Onesimus had escaped and had probably stole some money from Philemon. Philemon was a friend of Paul. During Paul's ministry, Onesimus became a Christian. Paul felt that it would right for Onesimus to go back to Philemon. Philemon had qualities we should strive for: he had faith in Christ, he loved the saints and he refreshed the saints (v.7). Paul had asked Philemon to take Onesimus back because he was a brother in Christ. Under Roman law, Onesimus woiuld have been executed for running away and stealing from his master. Paul asked Philemon to take Onesimus back and he would repay anything that Onesimus stole or owed him. Paul told Philemon to welcome Onesimus as how Philemon had welcome Paul in the past.. According to Wiersbe in With the Word Commentary: Two statements in Paul's letter to Philemon remind us of what Jesus did for us. "Receive him (Onesimus) as you wouldme" (v. 17 reminds us that we are "accepted in the Beloved" (Eph 1.6). "Put that on my account" (v. 18) reminds us that Jesus paid the price for our redemption (Rom 4.1-8; 2Cor 5.12).
