Later, Onesimus accompanied Thychius in bearing Paul's letter to the church at Colossae (Colossians 4:7-9 ). Two traditions connect Onesimus with a bishop of that name in the second-century church, and with Onesiphorus in 2 Timothy 1:16 . Neither connection has been proven satisfactorily. See Philemon .
