Philemon 1:16

Philemon 1:16 -

Not now as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved. So great a difference had his Christian calling and profession made to him and to others. Both in the flesh and in the Lord. A hysteron proteron . The apostle is pleading on behalf of Onesimus this new bond of Christian relationship, which was in the Lord , that it should bring about a renewed fullness of personal relation. In the flesh , because "in the Lord."
