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 and no mere slave this time, but a true Christian brother! That's what he was to me - he'll be even more than that to you.

17 So if you still consider me a comrade-in-arms, welcome him back as you would me.

18 If he damaged anything or owes you anything, chalk it up to my account.

19 This is my personal signature - Paul - and I stand behind it. (I don't need to remind you, do I, that you owe your very life to me?)

20 Do me this big favor, friend. You'll be doing it for Christ, but it will also do my heart good.
