Filemón 1:21 Meaning and Commentary

Philemon 1:21

Having confidence in thy obedience
In his obedience of faith to Christ, and his Gospel; he having been made willing in the day of his power to serve him, as well as to be saved by him; and being constrained by his love, and the Spirit of Christ having wrought in him both to will and to do of his good pleasure:

l wrote unto thee, knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say;
the knowledge the apostle had of Philemon's cheerful obedience to Christ in all the parts of duty, encouraged him to write to him, on this head; believing that he would even do more than he had desired of him.

20 Sim, irmão, eu quisera regozijar-me de ti no Senhor; reanima o meu coração em Cristo.

21 Escrevo-te confiado na tua obediência, sabendo que farás ainda mais do que peço.

22 E ao mesmo tempo, prepara-me também pousada, pois espero que pelas vossas orações hei de ser concedido.

23 Saúda-te Epafras, meu companheiro de prisão em Cristo Jesus,
