More Than a Slave: Regarding the return of Philemon’s runaway slave Onesimus, Paul said: “Perhaps... he broke away for an hour, that you may have him back forever, no longer as a slave but as more than a slave, as a brother beloved, especially so to me, yet how much more so to you both in fleshly relationship and in the Lord. ”
Rohkem kui ori: Paulus ütles Fileemoni ärapõgenenud, aga tagasituleva orja Oneesimose kohta: „Ta oligi vist sellepärast mõneks ajaks eraldatud sinust, et sa teda saaksid pidada igavesti, mitte kui orja, vaid rohkem kui orja, kui armast venda, iseäranis minule armast, kui palju enam sinule niihästi liha poolest kui Issandas. ”
