Philemon 1:15 in Context — Philemon 1
13 J’aurais désiré le retenir auprès de moi, pour qu’il me servît à ta place, pendant que je suis dans les chaînes pour l’Évangile.
14 Toutefois, je n’ai rien voulu faire sans ton avis, afin que ton bienfait ne soit pas comme forcé, mais qu’il soit volontaire.
15 Peut-être a-t-il été séparé de toi pour un temps, afin que tu le recouvres pour l’éternité,
16 non plus comme un esclave, mais comme supérieur à un esclave, comme un frère bien-aimé, de moi particulièrement, et de toi à plus forte raison, soit dans la chair, soit dans le Seigneur.
17 Si donc tu me tiens pour ton ami, reçois-le comme moi-même.
