Philemon 1:18
If he has wronged you at all, or owes you anything, charge it to me.
no longer as a slave but more than a slave, a beloved brother, especially to me, but even more so to you, as a man and in the Lord.
Perhaps he was separated from you for a while, so that you might have him back forever,
but I did not want to do anything without your consent, so that your good deed might be voluntary, not forced.
I would have liked to keep him with me so he could serve me on your behalf while I am in prison for the gospel,
I appeal on behalf of my child, Onesimus, whose father I have become while I was in prison.
I prefer to appeal to you out of love. I, Paul, an old man and now a prisoner for Christ Jesus.
