Philemon 1:15 Context
13Whome I would haue reteined with mee, that in thy stead hee might haue ministred vnto me in the bonds of the Gospel. 14But without thy minde would I doe nothing, that thy benefite should not bee as it were of necessitie, but willingly. 15For perhaps hee therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receiue him for euer: 16Not now as a seruant, but aboue a seruant, a brother beloued, specially to mee, but how much more vnto thee, both in the flesh, and in the Lord? 17If thou count mee therefore a partner, receiue him as my selfe.
