OET (OET-LV) For/Because possibly because_of this, he_was_separated for an_hour, in_order_that eternal him you_may_receive_fully,
OET (OET-RV) It was possibly because of that that he was separated from you for a while, so that on the eternal scale you could fully accept him,
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
τάχα γὰρ διὰ τοῦτο, ἐχωρίσθη πρὸς ὥραν, ἵνα
possibly for because_of this ˱he˲_/was/_separated for /an/_hour in_order_that
If your language does not use this passive form, you can state this in active form. Alternate translation: [For perhaps the reason that God took Onesimus away from you for a time was so that]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
πρὸς ὥραν
for /an/_hour
Here, the phrase for an hour is an idiom meaning “for a short time.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent idiom or use plain language. Alternate translation: [for this short time]
1:15 you lost Onesimus (literally he went away): This might be a euphemism for running away, in order not to mention Onesimus’s offense directly.
• so that you could have him back forever: It is implied that God providentially arranged events to lead to Onesimus’s salvation.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
