Philemon 1:14-18

14Yet, I didn’t want to do anything without your consent. I want you to do this favor for me out of your own free will without feeling forced to do it.

15Maybe Onesimus was gone for a while so that you could have him back forever—

16no longer as a slave but better than a slave—as a dear brother. He is especially dear to me, but even more so to you, both as a person and as a Christian.

17If you think of me as your partner, welcome him as you would welcome me.

18If he wronged you in any way or owes you anything, charge it to me.
