Philemon 15-17

English Standard Version Anglicised

¹⁵For this perhaps is why ^(A)he was parted from you for a while, that you might have him back for ever, ¹⁶^(B)no longer as a slave^[a] but more than a slave, as ^(C)a beloved brother—especially to me, but how much more to you, ^(D)both in the flesh and in the Lord.

¹⁷So if you consider me ^(E)your partner, receive him as you would receive me.
