Philemon 1:18

18 And if he has wronged you in any way or owes you anything, charge it to me.

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 no longer as a slave but as more than a slave, as a dear brother. And that he is, especially to me. But how much dearer he must be to you, both humanly and in union with the Lord!
17 So if you are in fellowship with me, receive him as you would me.
18 And if he has wronged you in any way or owes you anything, charge it to me.
19 I, Sha'ul, write with my own hand. I will repay it. (I won't mention, of course, that you owe me your very life.)
20 Yes, brother, please do me this favor in the Lord; refresh my heart in the Messiah.
