The first paragraph of the section is:

Onesimus was a man who was with Paul when he went to Rome. Before this, Onesimus was a slave. In fact, he was a slave in Colossae. He believed in Jesus, so he was a Christian.

The GL translator makes this observation:

Onesimus didnt go with Paul to Rome, he met Paul while Paul was in Rome

The second paragraph is:

After Onesimus became a Christian, he escaped from slavery. Paul wrote a letter to Onesimus's owner (see: Philemon). In that letter, Paul asked Philemon not to punish Onesimus. Instead, Paul wanted Philemon to treat Onesimus in the same way he treated other Christians.

The GL translator says that:

Onesimus became a Christian after he escaped while he was a slave of Philemon
