Interpretation of Philemon Chapter 1 Verse 10
In this passage from Paul’s letter to Philemon, Paul is urging Philemon to accept Onesimus, a runaway slave that Paul has had the opportunity to come to know. Paul is asking Philemon to treat Onesimus as if he were Paul’s own son, since Paul has come to know him and care for him while in his bonds (likely referring to his imprisonment). Paul is pleading with Philemon to accept Onesimus with love and kindness, for the sake of Paul’s own bond with him.
