Philemon / Question
Question source
Philemon
Paul urges Philemon to welcome Onesimus and offers to cover any debt or wrong. The letter’s request centers on receiving Onesimus and restoring relationship rather than punishment (Philemon 1:17–19).
17If then you count me a partner, receive him as you would receive me.
18But if he has wronged you at all, or owes you anything, put that to my account.
19I, 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).
