Philemon 15-20
English Standard Version
15 For this perhaps is why (A)he was parted from you for a while, that you might have him back forever, 16 (B)no longer as a bondservant[a] but more than a bondservant, as (C)a beloved brother—especially to me, but how much more to you, (D)both in the flesh and in the Lord.
17 So if you consider me (E)your partner, receive him as you would receive me. 18 If he has wronged you at all, or owes you anything, charge that to my account. 19 (F)I, Paul, write this with my own hand: I will repay it—to say nothing of your owing me even your own self. 20 Yes, brother, I want some benefit from you in the Lord. (G)Refresh my heart in Christ.
