Philemon 15-17
English Standard Version
15 For this perhaps is why (A)he was parted from you for a while, that you might have him back forever, 16 (B)no longer as a bondservant[a] but more than a bondservant, as (C)a beloved brother—especially to me, but how much more to you, (D)both in the flesh and in the Lord.
17 So if you consider me (E)your partner, receive him as you would receive me.
