In Ephesians, Paul shows how the good news should create ethnically diverse communities that are unified by devotion to Jesus and to each other. Philippians, includes a thank you to the Philippian Christians for their generosity and shares how they are all called to imitate Jesus’ self-giving love. In Colossians, Paul encourages the Colossian Christians to see Jesus as the centre of all reality, so they don’t give in to pressure from other religions. In Philemon, Paul helps his friend to reconcile with his escaped former slave and shows that they are equals because of Jesus.
