Philemon 1:10-11 – “…I appeal to you for my son Onesimus, who became my son while I was in chains. Formerly he was useless to you, but now he has become useful both to you and to me…”
The book of Philemon is really a short, personal letter to Philemon (a Christian in the first century) from the Apostle Paul. Often neglected by preachers today, the book contains some powerful lessons for us about the Christian life and our faith.
