Which in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now profitable to thee and to me:
USELESS – USEFUL / PHILEMON 1:11
This is a wordplay on the meaning of Onesimus’ name, which means “useful”. With Onesimus as a slave, the situation was really of no benefit to anyone in a way that really mattered. But now the Onesimus is a Christian, his life, companionship, encouragement and service for God could be a great blessing to Philemon, just as he was to Paul. Yet, this would only be of full benefit if Philemon received Onesimus back as a Christian brother rather than simply a servant.
