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 something better than a slave--a brother peculiarly dear to me, and even dearer to you, both as a servant and as a fellow Christian.

17 If therefore you regard me as a comrade, receive him as if he were I myself.

18 And if he was ever dishonest or is in your debt, debit me with the amount.

19 I Paul write this with my own hand--I will pay you in full. (I say nothing of the fact that you owe me even your own self.)

20 Yes, brother, do me this favour for the Lord's sake. Refresh my heart in Christ.
