Philemon 1:17 meaning and explanation
So if you consider me a partner, receive him as you would receive me.
Philemon 1:17, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
Paul writes to Philemon, a slave owner in whose house the church meets, about Onesimus, a slave who had left him and become a believer through Paul's ministry in prison. In verse 17 Paul makes his appeal personal: if Philemon regards him as a partner, the Greek word koinonos, a sharer or associate, he should welcome Onesimus exactly as he would welcome Paul himself.
