Philemon, Letter To One of four so-called Prison Letters attributed to the Apostle Paul (the others are Ephesians, Philippians, and Colossians). Philemon is Paul’s shortest letter (only 335 words in Greek) and the only one that he sends to an individual rather than to an entire church. The letter addresses Philemon concerning his runaway slave, Onesimus, who apparently became a Christian through Paul’s ministry (Phlm 10). Philemon appears to have hosted the church at Colossae, since that is where Paul sends Onesimus (Phlm 2; Col 4:8–9).
