Onesimus
Paul's son in the faith
Philemon 1:10
Onesimus was a servant who had departed from his master, Philemon, and may have wronged him. Somewhere along the way he met Paul in prison and was saved, and Paul called him his son. Paul sent him back home to Colossae along with Tychicus, who carried Paul's letter to the Colossians. The servant who had been unprofitable came back a brother in Christ.
With Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They shall make known unto you all things which are done here.
