Whom I have sent again: you therefore receive him, that is, my own heart:
All Commentaries on Philemon 1:12 Go To Philemon 1
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
Do thou receive him as my own bowels. That is, as myself. Perhaps by the permission of God's providence (who never permits evil, but for some greater good) he departed from thee for a little while, that thou mightest receive him for ever, being now after his conversion in a way of being made partaker with thee of the same eternal happiness. (Witham)
