“For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receive him for ever;”
King James Version (KJV)
1:15 God might permit him to be separated (a soft word) for a season, that thou mightest have him for ever - Both on earth and in heaven.
Phm 1:15 Perhaps he therefore departed for a season. Perhaps his departure was providential, That thou shouldest receive him for ever. To lead to his conversion, to give you a faithful helper, and to save him forever.
