Not now as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved, specially to me, but how much more unto thee, both in the flesh, and in the Lord?
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 16 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.
