PAUL’S LETTER TO PHILEMON ~ ■ 1.

ofc WmrP

During the two years that he spent in Rome , awaiting a hearing before Nero, Paul wrote many _pi tes to his followers. Two of these were the Ep's’ie to the Colossians and the Epistle to the Ephesians. In these he expounded his belief that the Christian doctrine was not to be restricted by time nor space nor by the religious laws of the Jews.

I **- To the city of Rome came a runaway slave, Onesimus by name. The property of Philemon, Onesimus had stolen valuables belonging to his master. Fearing punishment, he had fled and his wanderings at last brought him in contact with Paul. No doubt he had learned of Christianity from his master for in a short time he had joined Paul's band as a convert.

’-y « Following his conversion by Paul, Onesimus confessed his transgressions and asked forgiveness. The evangelist told him that to prove his sincerity he must return to the master whom he had wronged and make restitution. This the slave consented to do. Paul penned a letter, vouching for the man's penance and promising to aid him in making restitution. So Onesimus went back to Colossae.
