Philemon 2
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
2 to Apphia our sister,[a] to Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the church at your house.(A)
Read full chapterFootnotes
- 2 Apphia our sister: sister is here used (like brother) to indicate a fellow Christian. The church at your house: your here is singular. It more likely refers to Philemon than to the last one named, Archippus; Philemon is then the owner of the slave Onesimus (Phlm 10). An alternate view is that the actual master of the slave is Archippus and that the one to whom the letter is addressed, Philemon, is the most prominent Christian there; see note on Col 4:17.
