18. Philemon, (1) Chapter.
This shortest of all of Paul's letters was addressed to Philemon (although two other persons are included in the salutation). Paul entreats Philemon, the master of Onesimus, a runaway slave, to receive him back as a brother in Christ (16, 17). This very personal letter reveals not only the concern of the Apostle for a converted slave but is also a practical demonstration of brotherhood in Christ, "where there is neither bond [slave] nor free" (Gal. 3:28).

Thanking God, for teaching us his Word, In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
