Philemon 1:1

[Five names are mentioned here in the introduction and conclusion, see verses 23-24. This indicates that there is a fine structure and symmetry in the letter. The fact that Paul does not use the title "apostle," as he does in nine of his thirteen letters, suggests that he has a close friendship with Philem. The title "prisoner" indicates that he is imprisoned, probably in Rom. However, he does not write "prisoner of the emperor" even though he is imprisoned by the Roman state. Paul is not owned by his circumstances; he is owned by Jesus and is his prisoner!]
[From:]
Paul, prisoner of the Anointed One (Messiah, Christ) Jesus
and brother Timothy.
To:
Philem. our beloved friend and co-worker [his name means "affectionate"],
