Being such a one as Paul the aged. "rhe aged" appears in the mar- gin as "an ambassador," the two words being almost identical in the Greek And now a prisoneralso of Christ Jesus. Added to Paul's infirm- ities of age, an additional claim upon Philemon's sympathy. was the fact that the 'apostle .was in prison for Christ's sake. I beseech thee for my child, whom I have begotten in my' bonds. Who- ever brings another soul into the new life in jesus ,Christ feels towards him a fatherly tenderness and pride. Who once was unprofitable to thee. "Unprofitable," as applied to Onesim- us, must refer to something wrong done by him; the fear of being pun- ished for this was presumably his rea- son for running away front his max- , ter. Put now is profitable to thee and me. Note how Paul joins him - ,self with Philemon in this experience of 'the new Onesimus, confidently ex- pecting that the master will take back again the reformed slave. Whom I would fain have kept wit me. Paul is doing far more in relin quishing the . slave than Philemo could do in receiving him, even if th master should forego his legal pre rogative of condign punishment o the runaway. That in thy behalf h might minister unto me in the bond of the gospel. There are two delicate ly beautiful appeals to Philemon i this •clause: a reminder that Paul i in chains because of his zeal in bring ing the gospel—the Glad News—t Philemon, and therefore is in nee of the slave's ministrations; and tha Onesimus, in thus serving Paul would be doing what Philemon him self would gladly be doing, a consid eration which placed master and slav side by side in community of Christ ian service, That thy goodness should not be as of necessity, but of free will. Paul is not hinting that Philemon should send Onesimus back to hint, for he was anticipating soon to be released, and to have the .pleasure of visiting Philemon at Colossae; moreover, in any case, it would be a long and cost-. ly journey. back to Rome. "A BROTHER BELOVED." For perhaps he was therefore part- ed from thee for a season, that thou shouldest have him for ever. Forever on earth and forever in heaven, mas- ter and slave to share the same et- ernal destiny through Christ. No longer as a servant (margin, "bondservant") but more than a ser- vant, a bzother beloved. Considera- tions such as this, when they had time to work on men's hearts and consciences, finally did away with human slavery. Specially to me, but how much . rather to thee. Onesimus was 'now knit to Philemon by a dou- blebond, that of slave and of Christ- ian brother; he was knit to Paul only by the latter tie. Both in flesh and in the Lord. Slavery was regarded as . an actual kinship of the flesh. Aris- totle, for instance said, "The slave is a portion 'of his master; as it were a living, though separated, portion of his body." If then thou countest me a partner, receive him as myself. What an hon- or, to be counted a partner •of the great apostle, Paul! And this honor is to: be granted on such easy terms the reception of a repentant slave! But if he hath wronged thee at all, or oweth :thee aught. The implica- ion is that theslave had stolen from Philemon, and had run away because he could not repay his master. Put -hat to mine account. A reasonable hough proposition if Paul had stolen I the slave or shared in his wrong -do - ng; due the height of generosity viten the apostle was the means of ending Onesimus back to his master. I Paul write it with mine own hand will repay it: The apostle, as ap- ears in a. number of places, was in he habit of dictating his letters to n amanuensis, his eyesight being very poor even after his recovery roti blindness caused by the great glut on the Damascus road at his onversion., When he wrote with his wn hand, it was in large, sprawling Iters; Gal. 6;11. This was "an ad- itional and solemn assurance of -hat he had just said. Whether Paul -rote the entire letter with his own and, or from this point only, is not tated." That I say not Onto thee iat thou owest to ane even thine own elf besides.
