Philemon 1:21 Douay-Rheims

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

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown

1871 Reformed

Having confidence in thy obedience--to my apostolic authority, if I were to "enjoin" it (Plm 1:8), which I do not, preferring to beseech thee for it as a favor (Plm 1:9). thou will also do more--towards Onesimus: hinting at his possible manumission by Philemon, besides, being kindly received.
