	Philemon
		Philemon was a Christian, converted through Paul's ministry, and I don't expect that he treated Onesimus particularly badly, as slave treatment in the Roman empire went; but there is nothing particularly pleasant about being a slave at all, and this one had had enough.
		What Philemon had was the ability to show Onesimus the boundless love of Christ, by embracing the runaway slave, taking him back as "more than a slave, a beloved brother" and forgoing not merely the usual punishment, not merely the merciful punishment, but any punishment whatsoever.
		Onesimus was still to be Philemon's slave, but also now his brother, to share their faith and build each other up as brothers "in the flesh" (that is, while still on earth) and on into eternity ("in the Lord").
