Philemon 1:20 - Forerunner Commentary

Philemon 1:20

18 But if he has wronged you or owes anything, put that on my account.

19 I, Paul, am writing with my own ^ahand. I will repay—not to mention to you that you owe me even your own self besides.

20 Yes, brother, let me have joy from you in the Lord; refresh my heart in the Lord.

21 ^aHaving confidence in your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even more than I say.

22 But, meanwhile, also prepare a guest room for me, for ^aI trust that ^bthrough your prayers I shall be granted to you.

Farewell

23 ^aEpaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, greets you,

24 as do ^aMark, ^bAristarchus, ^cDemas, ^dLuke, my fellow laborers.
