But don't you be called 'Rabbi,' for one is your teacher, the Christ, and all of you are brothers.
17
Ananias departed, and entered into the house. Laying his hands on him, he said, "Brother Saul, the Lord, who appeared to you on the road by which you came, has sent me, that you may receive your sight, and be filled with the Holy Spirit."
22
For he who was called in the Lord being a bondservant is the Lord's free man. Likewise he who was called being free is Christ's bondservant.
28
Now we, brothers, as Isaac was, are children of promise.
29
But as then, he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so also it is now.
5
Servants, be obedient to those who according to the flesh are your masters, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as to Christ;
6
not in the way of service only when eyes are on you, as men pleasers; but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;
7
with good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men;
22
Servants, obey in all things those who are your masters according to the flesh, not just when they are looking, as men pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing God.
2
Those who have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brothers, but rather let them serve them, because those who partake of the benefit are believing and beloved. Teach and exhort these things.

Therefore, holy brothers, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Jesus;
22
Seeing you have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth through the Spirit in sincere brotherly affection, love one another from the heart fervently:
23
having been born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which lives and remains forever.

Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God. Whoever loves the Father also loves the child who is born of him.
Et l'apôtre n'oublie pas de mentionner son propre amour pour Onésime, afin de le rendre d'autant plus cher à son maître. Quelle profondeur, quelle délicatesse, quelle puissance d'affection chrétienne !
- Voilà, au fond, comment le christianisme résout la grave question de l'esclavage : du dedans au dehors ; non par la violence, mais par la puissance de l'amour en Christ.
En effet, soit que l'on voie dans ces mots : non plus comme un esclave, la demande positive de libérer Onésime, soit qu'on les restreigne aux sentiments de Philémon pour ce dernier, toujours est-il que les chaînes de l'esclave sont rompues, rompues par l'amour, et alors il est impossible que nul prétende les forger jamais de nouveau.
Quel chrétien pourrait imposer les flétrissures de l'esclavage à un frère bien-aimé ?
Les développements de l'Evangile de Jésus-Christ ont amené nécessairement l'abolition de l'esclavage, et l'amèneront partout. Esclavage et Evangile sont deux choses aussi incompatibles que la lumière et les ténèbres, que Christ et Bélial. (Comparer sur cette question 1Corinthiens 7.21, note ; 1Timothée 6.1,2, note.)
