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 bond servant, but, more than a bond servant, an ach ahuv (a beloved brother [in Moshiach]), especially to me, and how much more to you, both as a man and in Adoneinu.

17 So if you consider me partnered to you as a chaver in our [common orthodox Jewish emunah], receive him as you would me.

18 But if in anything he wronged you or owes you, charge this to my cheshbon (account, bill).

19 I, [Rav] Sha’ul, am writing this with my own hand: I will repay. This is not to meorer (point out) the fact that on your cheshbon you owe me your very neshamah.

20 Yes, Ach b’Moshiach, I would have some "usefulness" from you in Adoneinu. Refresh my lev in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.
