Philemon 1:21 Douay-Rheims

Trusting in thy obedience, I have written to thee: knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say.

Adam Clarke

1762–1832 Methodist

Having confidence in thy obedience - I know that it will please thee thus to oblige thy friend, and I know that thou wilt do more than I request, because thou feelest the affection of a son to thy spiritual father. Some think that the apostle hints to Philemon that he should manumit Onesimus.
