Philemon 1:15 in context

  1. 13whom I would fain have kept with me, that in thy behalf he might minister unto me in the bonds of the gospel:
  2. 14but without thy mind I would do nothing; that thy goodness should not be as of necessity, but of free will.
  3. 15For perhaps he was therefore parted from thee for a season, that thou shouldest have him for ever;
  4. 16no longer as a servant, but more than a servant, a brother beloved, specially to me, but how much rather to thee, both in the flesh and in the Lord.
  5. 17If then thou countest me a partner, receive him as myself.
