Philemon

 letter asking a master to receive the runaway slave Onesimus as his own brother.

No longer a slave, but a brother (Phil 16)

Philemon is a letter that Paul wrote to a friend named Philemon who apparently lived in Colossae. Paul was in prison at the time. There he met Onesimus, a slave who had run away from Philemon. Onesimus had come to faith in Christ, and Paul urges Philemon to receive him back not as a slave but as his own brother (v. 16).
