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 Not now as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved, specially to me, but how much more to thee, both in the flesh, and in the Lord?

17 If thou accountest me therefore a partner, receive him as myself.

18 If he hath wronged thee, or oweth [thee] aught, put that on my account;

19 I Paul have written [it] with my own hand, I will repay [it]: although I do not say to thee that thou owest to me even thy own self besides.

20 Yes, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord: refresh my bowels in the Lord.
