21 Ik heb aan u geschreven, vertrouwende op uw gehoorzaamheid; en ik weet, dat gij doen zult ook boven hetgeen ik zeg.

Filémon 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 Ja, broeder, laat mij uwer hierin genieten in den Heere; verkwik mijn ingewanden in den Heere.
21 Ik heb aan u geschreven, vertrouwende op uw gehoorzaamheid; en ik weet, dat gij doen zult ook boven hetgeen ik zeg.
22 En bereid mij ook tegelijk een herberg; want ik hoop, dat ik door uw gebeden ulieden zal geschonken worden.
23 U groeten Epafras, mijn medegevangene in Christus Jezus,
