Philemon:
an inhabitant of Colosse, and apparently a person of some note among the citizens (Col 4:9; Phm 1:2). He was brought to a knowledge of the gospel through the instrumentality of Paul (Phm 1:19), and held a prominent place in the Christian community for his piety and beneficence (Phm 1:4-7). He is called in the epistle a "fellow-labourer," and therefore probably held some office in the church at Colosse; at all events, the title denotes that he took part in the work of spreading a knowledge of the gospel.
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
