1). Unger’s bible Dictionary: Greek, useful, profitable. The servant or slave in whose behalf Paul wrote the epistle to Philemon. He was a native or inhabitant of Colossae, since Paul, in writing to the church there, speaks of him (Colossians 4:9) as “one of your number.” Fleeing from his master Philemon to Rome, he was there led to embrace the gospel through the instrumentality of the apostle (Philemon 10). After his conversion the most happy and friendly relationship sprang up between the teacher and the disciple; and so useful had he made himself to Paul that he desired to have Onesimus remain with him. This, however, he forbore in view of the relations of Onesimus and his master’s right to his services. Onesimus, accompanied by Tychicus, left Rome with not only this epistle but with that to the Colossians (Colossians 4:9), A.D. 60.
