Advocating for a Slave

Philemon, if you consider me a partner in Christ, I ask you to welcome Onesimus back home as you would welcome me. If he has done you any wrong or owes you anything, charge it all to me. I, Paul, am writing this with my own hand. I will pay you back everything that Onesimus owes you—not to mention that you owe me your very life.
