Philemon 1:18

Philemon 1:18

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

Philemon’s Obedience Encouraged

17 If then you count me as a partner, receive him as you would me.

18 But if he has wronged you or owes anything, put that on my account.

19 I, Paul, am writing with my own ^ahand. I will repay—not to mention to you that you owe me even your own self besides.

20 Yes, brother, let me have joy from you in the Lord; refresh my heart in the Lord.

21 ^aHaving confidence in your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even more than I say.

Philemon 1:18 If he hath wronged thee. By defrauding thee of his service. Or oweth [thee] ought. Some have seen in this a suggestion that Onesimus had robbed Philemon, but that inference is not necessary. On the gospel and slavery, see topic 9254.
