Philemon 1:17

“If then you count me a partner, receive him as you would receive me.”

Verse in context — Philemon 1

For perhaps he was therefore separated from you for a while, that you would have him forever,

no longer as a slave, but more than a slave, a beloved brother, especially to me, but how much rather to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.

If then you count me a partner, receive him as you would receive me.

But if he has wronged you at all, or owes you anything, put that to my account.

I, Paul, write this with my own hand: I will repay it (not to mention to you that you owe to me even your own self besides).

A personal appeal for forgiveness and reconciliation.
