Verse 17
‘If then you count me as a partner, receive him as myself.’
He then puts in his plea on Onesimus’ behalf, in case Philemon is not yet fully convinced about forgiving and receiving Onesimus in the terms described by Paul. If he genuinely counted Paul as a partner (sharer in common) in the Gospel, let him receive Onesimus as if he was Paul himself. He could have used no stronger argument.
