Philemon

Gender: Male

Years: 64 - 64

Dictionary Text: An inhabitant of Colosse, and apparently a person of some note among the citizens; :2. He was brought to a knowledge of the gospel through the instrumentality of Paul, and held a prominent place in the Christian community for his piety and beneficence. 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.
