Philemon 19
4/15/2026
I, Paul, am writing this with my own hand. I will pay it back--not to mention that you owe me your very self.
This is not a form letter or one that Paul has delegated to a secretary. It is very personal and very important. The implications go far beyond the particular problem that Philemon will have in deciding what to do with a runaway slave who has become a Christian. The precedent will speak to social distinctions that form the heart of whole societies. The world will be a different place when the influence of these issues is fully worked out in governments and societies. The whole thing is a bother to Philemon, and he would just as soon as have absorbed the loss and moved on. Paul makes him think of his relationship with God in his personal and business life. Everything relates to Jesus.
