In context

14But I did not want to do anything without your consent, so that your goodness will not be out of compulsion, but by your own free will.

15For perhaps this is why he was separated from you for a while, so that you might have him back for good—

16No 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.

17So if you consider me a partner, receive him as you would receive me.

18But if he has wronged you in any way or owes you anything, charge it to my account.
