Philemon 1:16 in Context — Philemon 1
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.
18 Et s’il t’a fait quelque tort, ou s’il te doit quelque chose, mets-le sur mon compte.
