Philémon 1:21

21 Je t'écris, persuadé de ton obéissance, sachant que tu feras même plus que je ne dis.

Philémon 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.

Philémon 1:21 In-Context

19 Moi, Paul, je te l'écris de ma propre main, je te le rendrai, sans te dire que tu te dois toi-même à moi.

20 Oui, frère, que je reçoive ce plaisir de toi dans le Seigneur; réjouis mes entrailles dans le Seigneur.

21 Je t'écris, persuadé de ton obéissance, sachant que tu feras même plus que je ne dis.

22 Mais en même temps prépare-moi un logement, car j'espère que je vous serai rendu par vos prières.
