Paul Writes to Philemon With Timothy Beside HimBible World
1:1Philemon 1:1
Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy our brother, unto Philemon our dearly beloved, and fellowlabourer,
The opening identifies Paul as a prisoner of Jesus Christ. It was written while he was imprisoned in Rome. It belongs to the letter from his Roman imprisonment after his voyage to Puteoli and his approach to the capital. Though he arrived bound as a prisoner, the Italian Christians who had received his epistle to the Romans welcomed him.
