Philemon
King James Version (KJV)


“Having confidence in thy obedience I wrote unto thee, knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say.”
King James Version (KJV)
1:19 I will repay it - If thou requirest it. Not to say, that then owest me thyself - It cannot be expressed, how great our obligation is to those who have gained our souls to Christ. Beside - Receiving Onesimus.
1:20 Refresh my bowels in Christ - Give me the most exquisite and Christian pleasure.
1:22 Given to you - Restored to liberty.
Phm 1:21 Having confidence . . . that thou wilt also do more than I say. This letter is written in full confidence that even more than I ask will be granted. Perhaps this is a hint that Philemon might grant Onesimus his freedom.
Hauing confidence in thy obedience, I wrote vnto thee, knowing that thou wilt also doe more then I say.
