Philemon 1:14-18

14But I didn’t want to do anything without your consent. I wanted you to help because you were willing, not because you were forced.

15It seems you lost Onesimus for a little while so that you could have him back forever.

16He is no longer like a slave to you. He is more than a slave, for he is a beloved brother, especially to me. Now he will mean much more to you, both as a man and as a brother in the Lord.

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

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