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.
