Philemon 1:15 in Context — Philemon 1

13 Yo quisiera detenerle conmigo, para que en lugar de ti me sirviese en las prisiones del evangelio;

14 Mas nada quise hacer sin tu consejo, porque tu beneficio no fuese como de necesidad, sino voluntario.

15 Porque acaso por esto se ha apartado de ti por [algún] tiempo, para que le recibieses para siempre;

16 No ya como siervo, antes más que siervo, [como] hermano amado, mayormente de mí, pero cuánto más de ti, en la carne y en el Señor.

17 Así que, si me tienes por compañero, recíbele como á mí.
