"Do what is right because it's the right thing to do"  Philemon 1

"Just because it legal, doesn't mean that it is right"

The letter to Philemon is the shortest of all Paul's writings and deals with the practice of slavery. Philemon is placed in the Bible as the last letter of Paul, but 2 Timothy is the last letter written by Paul before his death.  It was written before 1Timothy.  The letter suggests that Paul was in prison at the time of the writing. Philemon was a slave owner who also hosted a church in his home. During the time of Paul's ministry in Ephesus, Philemon had likely journeyed to the city, heard Paul's preaching and became a Christian. The slave Onesimus robbed his master, Philemon, and ran away, making his way to Rome and to Paul. Onesimus was still the property of Philemon, and Paul wrote to smooth the way for his return to his master. Through Paul’s witnessing to him, Onesimus had become a Christian and Paul wanted Philemon to accept Onesimus as a brother in Christ and not merely as a slave.
