Commentaries:
Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)
I have sent back (anepemya). Epistolary aorist. As it will look when Onesimus arrives.
In his own person (auton). "Himself," intensive pronoun with on (whom).
My very heart (ta ema splagxna). As in verse Philemon 1:7. He almost loves Onesimus as his own son.
