About this eBook

Author Weymouth, Richard Francis, 1822-1902
Title Weymouth New Testament in Modern Speech, Philemon
Credits Produced by Martin Ward
Summary "Weymouth New Testament in Modern Speech, Philemon" by Richard Francis Weymouth is a translation of a New Testament letter, likely written in the early 20th century. This book is a religious text focusing on themes of forgiveness, reconciliation, and the Christian community. The translation aims to present the message of the Apostle Paul in accessible modern language, reaching contemporary readers while retaining the original narrative's essence. The letter addresses Philemon, a Christian leader, and pleads on behalf of Onesimus, a runaway slave who has since converted to Christianity. Paul, writing from imprisonment, urges Philemon to accept Onesimus back, not as a slave but as a beloved brother in faith. The letter emphasizes love, forgiveness, and mutual support within the Christian community, highlighting the transformative power of faith. Paul expresses gratitude for Philemon's past kindness and confidently appeals for Onesimus's acceptance, framing it as a reflection of Christian charity and brotherhood.
