In doing further research you will find Onesimus was a slave that fled his master, and later was caught and put in prison. Remember Paul was a prisoner. While on his Voyage he was still preaching and teaching the Gospel and winning souls to Christ. I believe as Paul ministered to Onesimus, Onesimus became a believer and Paul saw that he was true in his belief and drew Onesimus into him as a close friend, which later made him the bond servant that Paul speaks of. Remember Paul mentioned that Onesimus was first Unprofitable to Timothy, Philemon etc. But now he would be profitable and that he will no longer be a servant but above servants...God will pick you up from your lowest and will raise you up to a high place in him but you must know how to accept the elevation and work in your assignment under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
