About the Book of Philemon Quiz

Philemon is Paul's shortest letter, a personal note written from prison to a believer whose house church met in his home. Philemon's slave Onesimus had run away, met Paul and become a Christian. Paul sends him back, asking Philemon to welcome him no longer as a slave but as a dear brother, and offering to pay anything Onesimus owes. It is a small window onto how the gospel changes relationships. This quiz covers the whole letter, and every answer comes with the verse.
