New International Version
Philemon 1:15-16
15Perhaps the reason he was separated from you for a little while was that you might have him back forever—
16no longer as a slave, but better than a slave, as a dear brother. He is very dear to me but even dearer to you, both as a fellow man and as a brother in the Lord.
