Philemon 15-17
New American Standard Bible
15 For perhaps it was (A)for this reason that he was separated from you for a while, that you would have him back forever, 16 (B)no longer as a slave, but more than a slave, (C)a beloved brother, especially to me, but how much more to you, both (D)in the flesh and in the Lord.
17 If then you regard me as a (E)partner, accept him as you would me.

Philemon 15-17
American Standard Version
15 For perhaps he was therefore parted from thee for a season, that thou shouldest have him for ever; 16 no longer as a [a]servant, but more than a [b]servant, a brother beloved, specially to me, but how much rather to thee, both in the flesh and in the Lord. 17 If then thou countest me a partner, receive him as myself.
