15 For perhaps because of this he was separated for an hour, so that you might have him back eternally, 16 no longer as a slave, but above a slave, a beloved brother—especially to me, but how much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord. 17 Therefore, if you hold me a partner, receive him as me. 18 But if in any way he wronged you or he owes you, impute this to me. 19 I, Paul, wrote with my own hand. I will repay it, that I may not say to you that you also owe to me even yourself. 20 Yes, brother, may I have profit from you in the Lord. Refresh my inner parts in Christ. 21 Being persuaded of your obedience, I wrote to you, knowing that you will do even above what I say. 22 Now at the same time, also prepare a lodging for me; for I hope that through your⁺ prayers I will be graciously given to you⁺. 23 Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, greets you, 24 as do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers. 25 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your⁺ spirit. Philemon 1:15-25, Berean Literal Bible. Public domain.
