Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is the first word of Philemon?

Answer: Paul

It says in Philemon 1:1, "Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy our brother, unto Philemon our dearly beloved, and fellow labourer."

Philemon's name means "affectionate". Philemon was converted by Paul to Christianity.

2. To whom does Paul refer to as the fellow soldier?

Answer: Archippus

It says in Philemon 1:2 "And to our beloved Apphia, and Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the church in thy house."

Archippus' name means master of the horse.

3. In the King James Version, who does Paul talk about giving credit to for "every good thing that is in you"?

Answer: Jesus

It says in Philemon 1:6, "That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus."

This is one of Paul's common themes.

4. Who does Paul refer to as his son?

Answer: Onesimus

It says in Philemon 1:10, "I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds."

Paul does not mean son in the literal sense. Onesimus is one of the people he led to Christ.

5. Paul does not care much for Onesimus.

Answer: False

It says in Philemon 1:12, "Whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive him, that is, mine own bowels."

j-zilch helped me out with this question because I did not understand what "mine own bowels" met. He sent me the same verse in the NIV which is "I am sending him - who is my very heart - back to you."

6. What does Paul say Onesimus is a slave to now?

Answer: the gospel

It says in Philemon 1:13, "Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered unto me in the bonds of the gospel."

Saying that Onesimus is a slave to the gospel refers to the fact that Onesimus is now saved as a Christian.

7. How does Paul tell Philemon he should receive Onesimus?

Answer: as a brother

It says in Philemon 1:16, "Not now as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved, specially to me, but how much more unto thee, both in the flesh, and in the Lord?"

Christians regard themselves as a family in which God is the Father and all Christians are brothers and sisters.

8. Does Paul consider Onesimus an equal?

Answer: Yes

It says in Philemon 1:17, "If thou count me therefore a partner, receive him as myself."

Paul tells Philemon to treat Onesimus the same way he would treat Paul himself.

9. What does Paul ask Philemon to get ready for him?

Answer: lodgings

It says in Philemon 1:22, "But withal prepare me also a lodging: for I trust that through your prayers I shall be given unto you."

Paul plans to go and see Philemon at some point.

10. What is the correct order of the people Paul lists in verse 24?

Answer: Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas

It says in Philemon 1:24, "Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas, my fellow labourers."

Philemon is the shortest of Paul's epistles.
