Phm 1: v3. Grace to you, and peace, from Yahweh our Father and his Son YahwehShua Messiah.

Paul in Rome prison writing this letter to Philemon regarding Philemon's runaway Onesimus.

Phm 1: v1. Paul, a prisoner of YahwehShua Messiah, and Timothy [our] brother, unto Philemon our dearly beloved, and fellowlabourer,

V2. And to [our] beloved Apphia, and Archippus our fellowsoldier, and to the assembly in thy house:

V3. Grace to you, and peace, from Yahweh our Father and the Son YahwehShua Messiah.

V4. I thank my Father Yahweh, making mention of thee always in my prayers (in the name of YahwehShua Messiah the Son),

V5. Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward YahwehShua Messiah, and toward all Saints;

V6. That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in YahwehShua Messiah.

V7. For we have great joy and consolation in thy love, because the bowels of the Saints are refreshed by thee, brother.

V8. Wherefore, though I might be much bold in YahwehShua Messiah to enjoin thee that which is convenient,

V9. Yet for love’s sake I rather beseech [thee,] being such an one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of YahwehShua Messiah.

V10. I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds:

V11. Which in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now profitable to thee and to me:

V12. Whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive him, that is, mine own bowels:

V13. Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered unto me in the bonds of the gospel:

V14. But without thy mind would I do nothing; that thy benefit should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly.

V15. For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receive him for ever;

V16. Not now as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved, specially to me, but how much more unto thee, both in the flesh, and in YahwehShua Messiah?

V17. If thou count me therefore a partner, receive him as myself.

V18. If he hath wronged thee, or oweth [thee] ought, put that on mine account;

V19. I Paul have written [it] with mine own hand, I will repay [it:] albeit I do not say to thee how thou owest unto me even thine own self besides.

V20. Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in YahwehShua Messiah: refresh my bowels in YahwehShua Messiah.

V21. Having confidence in thy obedience I wrote unto thee, knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say.

V22. But withal prepare me also a lodging: for I trust that through your prayers I shall be given unto you.

V23. There salute thee Epaphras, my fellowprisoner in YahwehShua  Messiah;

V24. Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas, my fellowlabourers.

V25. The grace of our YahwehShua Messiah [be] with your spirit. Amen.

Philemon was converted and used his wealth to host an assembly  in his home. He had a runaway slave, Onesimus, who also was converted by YahwehShua Messiah. Onesimus and Paul broke Roman law. However Paul appeals on behalf of YahwehShua Messiah to Philemon to forgive Onesimus  and himself.

Mat 6: v14. For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father (Yahweh) will also forgive you:

V15. But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father (Yahweh) forgive your trespasses.

Philemon forgives Onesimus and Paul. Philemon sets Onesimus free and Onesimus becomes elder at Ephesus and preached the beauty of celibacy. The Roman emperor hated that message and had him arrested and tortured for 18 days. He would not renounce YahwehShua Messiah, so he was ordered tortured, stoned, and beheaded (martyred). Philemon  was stoned to death (martyred). Paul had his legs crushed (martyred). All were martyred at different times for the name YahwehShua Messiah!

Act 14: v22. Confirming the souls of the disciples, [and] exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the Kingdom of Yahweh and YahwehShua.

HalleluYahwehshua!
