Verse 15 is found in chapter 1 of Philemon. Paul sends Onesimus back and expresses how much he wishes to keep him, but respects Philemon’s decision. Their relationship should no longer be defined solely by the previous social condition, but by a new relationship in Christ. The language of beloved brother introduces a radical transformation in how another believer is regarded.
