Paul’s imprisonment was due to his service to Christ, in the same manner as John was exiled to the Isle of Patmos because of his testimony ( Rev 1:9 ).","source_note_position":2,"source_url":"https://netbible.org/resource/netNote/Philemon%201%3A1/2"}

An offer of thanksgiving ( εὐχαριστῶ , eucaristw ) to God is a customary formula for Paul in many of his epistles (cf. Rom 1:8 , 1 Cor 1:4 , Eph 1:16 , Col 1:3 , 1 Thess 1:2 , 2 Thess 1:3 ). The content of the thanksgiving typically points to the work of God in the salvation of the believers to whom he [Paul] writes.","source_note_position":1,"source_url":"https://netbible.org/resource/netNote/Philemon%201%3A4/1"}
{"id":8007,"verse_id":"PHM.1.5","translation_id":"net-engnet","book_id":"PHM","chapter":1,"verse":5,"note_index":1,"note_type":"study_note","label":"NET study note","caller":"2","reference":"1.5","text":"Your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints. In accord with Paul, John also advocates this combination of “faith in Christ and love for the saints.” The believers’ invisible faith becomes visible in the demonstration of love for others. This, of course, is not only desired, but commanded ( 1 John 3:23 ). Although Paul’s comment here may appear as a stock expression to the casual reader, praising Philemon for his track record of faithfulness to Christ demonstrated in love for the saints is actually integral to the author’s argument in this short but pithy letter. Paul will soon ask Philemon to demonstrate this love toward Onesimus, his runaway slave.","source_note_position":2,"source_url":"https://netbible.org/resource/netNote/Philemon%201%3A5/2"}

The notion here is not that Onesimus was to be the slave of Philemon eternally , but that their new relationship as brothers in Christ would transcend the societal structures of this age. The occasion of Onesimus’ flight to Rome would ultimately be a catalyst in the formation of a new and stronger bond between these two men.","source_note_position":1,"source_url":"https://netbible.org/resource/netNote/Philemon%201%3A15/1"}

Paul desired that Philemon refresh his heart in the same way that he [Philemon] had refreshed the hearts of other believers (cf. Phlm 7 ), that is, by forgiving and accepting Onesimus. In this way the presence and character of Jesus Christ would be vividly seen in Philemon’s attitude toward his runaway slave.","source_note_position":1,"source_url":"https://netbible.org/resource/netNote/Philemon%201%3A20/1"}

This is probably the same individual whom Paul spoke of as “my brother, coworker, and fellow soldier” in Phil 2:25 (see also Phil 4:18 ). He is also mentioned in Col 1:7 and 4:12 , where he is a founder of the church in Colossae (BDAG 360 s.v. ᾿Επαφρᾶς ).","source_note_position":1,"source_url":"https://netbible.org/resource/netNote/Philemon%201%3A23/1"}
