Philemon 1:17
15 For perhaps this is why he was separated from you for a while, so that you might have him back for good—
16 no longer as a slave, but better than a slave, as a beloved brother. He is especially beloved to me, but even more so to you, both in person and in the Lord.
So if you consider me a partner, receive him as you would receive me.
18 But if he has wronged you in any way or owes you anything, charge it to my account.
19 I, Paul, write this with my own hand. I will repay it—not to mention that you owe me your very self.
