Philemon 1:15 in Context — Philemon 1

13 Eu [até que] gostaria de retê-lo comigo, para que como teu [substituto] ele me servisse nas prisões do Evangelho;

14 Mas eu nada quis fazer sem tua opinião, para que tua bondade não fosse como que por obrigação, mas sim de livre vontade.

15 Porque talvez por isso que ele tenha se separado [de ti] por algum tempo, para que tu o recebesses de volta para sempre.

16 Não mais como a um servo, mas sim mais que um servo, [como] a um amado irmão, especialmente para mim, e muito mais de ti, tanto na carne como no Senhor.

17 Portanto, se tu me tens como companheiro, [então] recebe-o como a mim.
