فليمون ١:١٨

Greek, "But it (thou art not inclined to 'receive him' because) he hath wronged thee"; a milder term than "robbed thee." Onesimus seems to have confessed some such act to Paul. put that on mine account--I am ready to make good the loss to thee if required. The latter parts of Plm 1:19, Plm 1:21, imply that he did not expect Philemon would probably demand it.

In this epistle we have, I. The preface (Plm 1:1-7). II. The substance and body of it (Plm 1:8-21). And then the conclusion (Plm 1:22 to the end.)

1:18 Onesimus might have stolen some things from Philemon’s home or had a debt to pay off when he ran away.
