Philemon 14-16

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁴ But I do not wish to do anything without your consent, so that your goodness would not be out of necessity, but willingly.

¹⁵ Therefore, it may be that he departed for a season so that you would receive him forever

¹⁶ (no longer as a servant, but above a servant, as a beloved brother), especially to me but how much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord?
