I Paul have written it with my own hand, I will repay it: nevertheless I do not say to you how you owe me even your own self besides.
All Commentaries on Philemon 1:19 Go To Philemon 1
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
I, Paul, have written, and testified this with my own hand. Some think he wrote the whole letter, with his own hand, to make it more acceptable to Philemon.
Not to say to thee, that thou owest me thy own self, the eternal salvation of thy soul, by thy conversion to the faith of Christ. (Witham)
