This is a personal letter from the aged Paul to Philemon who is both a believer and a slave owner. He had a slave called Onesimus who escaped and disappeared. Paul met Onesimus, probably in Rome, and he became a Christian and a helper of Paul.
Paul asks that Philemon graciously love and forgive him, receive him back and treat him not just as a slave but as a brother in Christ. Although there is no suggestion that this should be the end of slavery if this action was accepted it would eventually lead to the end of that awful institution.

The writer explicitly states Jesus’ superiority over angels, Moses & Joshua and that He provides a far better sanctuary, covenant, priesthood and sacrifice. The writer concludes with the superiority of the Christian believers walk of faith.
