Paul rejoices to hear of the faith and love of Philemon, 8. whom he desires to forgive his servant Onesimus, and lovingly to receive him again. Paul The letter to Philemon begins with the identification of its author, Paul. In the Greek, "Παῦλος" (Paulos) is a name that means "small" or "humble." Paul, formerly known as Saul, was a Pharisee who experienced a dramatic conversion to Christianity on the road to Damascus. His transformation from a persecutor of Christians to a devoted apostle of Christ is a testament to the power of God's grace. Historically, Paul is recognized as one of the most influential figures in early Christianity, having authored many New Testament epistles. His writings have shaped Christian doctrine and continue to inspire believers to live out their faith with conviction and humility. a prisoner of Christ Jesus and Timothy our brother To Philemon our beloved fellow worker Timothy.--Comp. Philippians 1:1; Colossians 1:1. Here, as in the other Epistles, the salutation includes Timothy, as desiring to imply in him, St. Paul's "own son in the faith," a closeness of connection and sympathy with the Apostle not found in others. But in all cases, and especially in this, the Letter is emphatically the Letter of St. Paul alone. . . . Verse 1. - A prisoner of Christ Jesus. He writes a private letter, as friend to friend, and therefore does not describe himself by his official title of apostle. Having to plead the cause of a slave, he begins by putting himself into a similar position as the "bondman of Jesus Christ" -"to obtain thereby the more ready compliance" (Chrysostom). By such a reverend bondage he beseeches Philemon, "and the bondage of Paul was liberty to Onesimus" (Scipio Gentilis). Timothy, etc. He was, then, with St. Paul at the time of writing; therefore at Rome; and this fixes the date of composition at all events before that of the Second Epistle to Timothy, when the apostle was again at Rome (2 Timothy 1:17; 2 Timothy 4:6, 16). Fellow-worker with St. Paul in promoting the spread of the gospel, either by his wealth and influence, less probably by preaching. The time when would be that of St. Paul's long stay at Ephesus and its neighborhood (Acts 19:8-22).Parallel Commentaries ...
