To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" Now, notwithstanding the positiveness w^ith which Onesimus is asserted to be a " runaway slave, " there is no proof in the whole epistle that Onesimus was a slave at all ; the inference that he was a slave rests on the 16th verse — "Not now as a servant, " &c. {doulos, but doulos''' is not in Greek necessarily a slave). There is not a particle of evidence that St. Paul forced or even urged the return of Onesimus. That he returned as a slave is incon- sistent with the whole tone of the epistle..., with the endearing ejnthets employed, and especially with the last clause quoted above. The circumstance related in the epistle to the Colos- sians (ch. Iv. 7-9) also opposes that view, where Onesimus is joint bearer witli Tychicus of St, Paul's message to the Co- lossians ; the same alFectionate epithet is applied to him as tc Tychicus ; and St. Paul says to the Colossians, (Onesimus) " is one of you ;" i. E. , of the Church or of the people of Colossaj, and '' they [Tychicus and Onesimus] shall make known unto you all things which are done here.
