Philemon 16-18

Worldwide English (New Testament)

¹⁶ Now he is not like a slave who must work for you. He is better than a slave. He is a Christian brother and you will love him. I love him very much. But you will love him even more because he belongs to you and he is a Christian.

¹⁷ So if you think of me as a real friend, take him back just as you would take me back.

¹⁸ If he has done you any wrong, or if he owes you a debt, then ask me to pay it.
