Philemon 1:15-19

15For perhaps this is why he was separated from you for a brief time, so that you might get him back permanently,

16no longer as a slave, but more than a slave — as a dearly loved brother. He is especially so to me, but how much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.

17So if you consider me a partner, welcome him as you would me.

18And if he has wronged you in any way, or owes you anything, charge that to my account.

19I, Paul, write this with my own hand: I will repay it — not to mention to you that you owe me even your very self.
