Philemon , Titus Jude or James
In Corinth, Onesimus befriended the Apostle Paul. During his time there, Paul provided spiritual guidance and support to Onesimus, who was a runaway slave from Philemon. Their relationship deepened as Paul shared the message of Christianity with Onesimus, ultimately leading him to embrace the faith. Paul later sent Onesimus back to Philemon, urging him to receive Onesimus not just as a slave but as a beloved brother in Christ.
There are at least two saints named Onesimus but neither is a patron saint.
Onesimus was befriended by the Apostle Paul while he was in Corinth. Paul, who was imprisoned at the time, developed a close relationship with Onesimus, who was a runaway slave. Through their friendship, Paul not only provided Onesimus with spiritual guidance but also encouraged him to return to his master, Philemon, with a plea for forgiveness and reconciliation.
Onesimus did not seek revenge against Archippus in Ephesus. In fact, Onesimus was a runaway slave who encountered the Apostle Paul while in prison and ultimately became a Christian. Instead of revenge, the narrative focuses on reconciliation, as Paul sends Onesimus back to his master, Philemon, encouraging him to accept Onesimus as a brother in Christ rather than as a slave. The emphasis is on forgiveness and restoration rather than vengeance.
