Philemon 1:18 Meaning and Commentary

Philemon 1:18

If he hath wronged thee
By squandering away his time, spoiling his work, or corrupting his fellow servants:

or oweth thee ought;
by embezzling his master's goods, robbing him of his money, and running away from his service:

put that on mine account;
Signifying that he would be answerable for all, and make good all debts and damages.

Philemon 1:18 In-Context

16 You could have him back not as a slave. Instead, he would be better than a slave. He would be a dear brother. He is very dear to me. But he is even more dear to you, both as a man and as a brother in the Lord.

17 Do you think of me as a believer who works together with you? Then welcome Onesimus as you would welcome me.

18 Has he done anything wrong to you? Does he owe you anything? Then charge it to me.

19 I'll pay it back. I, Paul, am writing this with my own hand. I won't even mention that you owe me your very life.

20 My brother, I wish I could receive some benefit from you because we both belong to the Lord. Renew my heart. We know that Christ is the one who really renews it.
