This is a private letter, the only one of the kind written by Paul, and the shortest of his epistles. Philemon was a resident of Colossae and was member of the church there (Colossians 4:9). It was by Paul he was brought into the Christian life. That Philemon was an earnest Christian appears from Paul’s statements. Paul rejoices over the faith and love of Philemon; asks forgiveness for Onesimus.
