WRITTEN PROBABLY DURING HIS IMPRISONMENT
AT ROME, ABOUT 61 A.D.
Onesimus, who was the bearer of this Letter, had been
a slave to Philemon. He had robbed his master and run away
from him; but, on reaching Rome, he had come under the
influence of St. Paul, and had been converted to Christianity.
Philemon, who lived probably at Laodicea in Asia Minor,
was also one of the Apostle's converts; and St. Paul sent
Onesimus back to him with this Letter, asking Philemon to
forgive him, and to receive him as a Brother-Christian.
