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 more than a slave, a beloved brother—especially to me but how much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.

17 So if you consider me your partner, welcome him as you would welcome me.

18 If he has wronged you in any way, or owes you anything, charge that to my account.

19 I, Paul, am writing this with my own hand: I will repay it. I say nothing about your owing me even your own self.

20 Yes, brother, let me have this benefit from you in the Lord! Refresh my heart in Christ.
