Who was the slave Paul won to the Lord while in prison?

• A. Epaphras
• B. Philemon
• C. Tychicus
• D. Onesimus

Answer: (D)

This question centers on the person Paul led to faith in Christ during his imprisonment. While Paul was under house arrest in Rome, he spoke with many and one runaway slave from Colossae—Onesimus—who became a follower of Jesus through his ministry. That conversion is tied to Paul’s time in prison and is later addressed in the letter to Philemon, where Paul urges Philemon to receive Onesimus back not merely as a slave but as a beloved brother in Christ. So the slave who was won to the Lord in that situation is Onesimus. The other names are people connected to Paul’s work, but Onesimus is the one who was converted in prison.
