Slaves are to obey their masters.
Slaves must always obey their masters and do their best to please them. They must not talk back or steal, but must show themselves to be entirely trustworthy and good. Then they will make the teaching about God our Savior attractive in every way. (Titus 2:9-10 NLT)
But this slave ran away. And now he was back, no longer a slave, but a brother.
It seems you lost Onesimus for a little while so that you could have him back forever. He is no longer like a slave to you. He is more than a slave, for he is a beloved brother, especially to me. Now he will mean much more to you, both as a man and as a brother in the Lord. (Philemon 1:15-16 NLT)
Breaking the law but receiving reward, this is the grace of God.
For the grace of God has been revealed, bringing salvation to all people. (Titus 2:11 NLT)
