In the letter to Philemon, Paul uses a strong appeal to emotion (pathos) to persuade Philemon to welcome back his runaway slave, Onesimus, not as a slave but as a brother in Christ. This approach is often described as "emotional arm twisting" because Paul leverages his personal relationship with Philemon and his emotional appeal to achieve his aim.
