Philemon 14-16

Orthodox Jewish Bible

¹⁴ But I wanted to do nothing without your haskamah (consent, approval), in order that the mitzvah you do might not be meshabed (caused to be obligated) or forced, but voluntary.

¹⁵ Eppis (for some reason) perhaps he was separated from you for a while in order that you might have him back for Yamim HaOlam,

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.
