A thoughtful presentation and well received.
Consider this also, that Onesimus came to Philemon with talents that Philemon either refused to see or recognize. And because of the master slave relationship Philemon refused to use or allow Onesimus to have freedom to contribute or show those talents. Paul’s experience with Onesimus those talents began to show and be developed. Paul then having had experience with Onesimus knew that the slave could be more valuable if given opportunity to show.
