Philemon 16-18

New Century Version

¹⁶ no longer as a slave, but better than a slave, as a loved brother. I love him very much, but you will love him even more, both as a person and as a believer in the Lord.

¹⁷ So if you consider me your partner, welcome Onesimus as you would welcome me. ¹⁸ If he has done anything wrong to you or if he owes you anything, charge that to me.
