The short letter to Philemon is the most personal of all of Paul\u2019s preserved writings. In his three decades of ministry, Paul certainly wrote many other short notes and personal letters, but God chose to keep only this one for our benefit. Although nowhere does this letter give the location of Philemon, Colossians 4:7-18 provides a list of names almost identical to those in Philemon, including Philemon\u2019s slave, Onesimus. \u0643\u064a\u0641 \u062a\u0641\u0648\u0632 \u0641\u064a \u0631\u0648\u0644\u064a\u062a<\/a> It seems that Paul sent Tychicus and Onesimus back to Colossae with two letters \u2013 one for the whole church (Colossians) and one for Philemon.<\/p>\n
Third<\/em>, Paul wanted to ask for Philemon to pardon Onesimus for his crimes (at least theft and running away). Although Philemon owed Paul a great spiritual debt, Paul promised that he would personally repay Onesimus\u2019 financial debt, should Philemon choose to pursue it (vs. 1xbet \u0645\u0648\u0642\u0639<\/a> 18-19).<\/p>\n
