Bible (Reina Valera) NT 18: Epístola de Pablo a Filemón

The Epistle of Paul to Philemon, written by Paul in the first century, is a unique letter addressed to a prominent layman rather than a church or pastor. It discusses the return of Onesimus, a runaway slave who became a Christian through Paul’s ministry in Rome. Paul appeals to Philemon to accept Onesimus back not as a slave but as a brother, highlighting themes of forgiveness and Christian brotherhood. This brief letter has historically been significant in discussions about slavery and was later used to advocate for its abolition in Christian contexts.
