Philemon 1:15-19

15For this perhaps is why he was parted from you for a while, that you might have him back forever,

16no longer as a bondservant but more than a bondservant, as a beloved brother—especially to me, but how much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.

17So if you consider me your partner, receive him as you would receive me.

18If he has wronged you at all, or owes you anything, charge that to my account.

19I, Paul, write this with my own hand: I will repay it—to say nothing of your owing me even your own self.
