G54    PHILEMON

(As all of this short book is recommended here, this is better read from the Bible. A hyperlink is therefore not provided - PN)

This charming little letter of St. Paul forms a fitting conclusion to his "personal correspondence".

The details of Onesimus ("Useful" v.11) absconding from his master are neither known nor of importance, but the Apostle's advocacy of him is a very lovely trait in St. Paul's character.
Philemon vv.1-25
