This letter is the Epistle to Philemon & entreats him to accept Onesimus “no longer as a slave, but more than a slave, a brother, beloved especially to me” Philemon pardoned Onesimus & he returned to faithfully serve St. Paul. We know that St. Paul made him, w/ Tychicus, the bearer of his Epistle to the Colossians (Col. 4:7-9) Later, as St. Jerome & other fathers testify, he became an ardent preacher of the Gospel & succeeded St. Timothy as bishop ♝of Ephesus #Catholic https://youtu.be/5pL6gnxFB9E
