Philemon1:21
21. Having confidence in thy obedience--to my apostolic authority, if I were to "enjoin" it (Phm 8), which I do not, preferring to beseech thee for it as a favor (Phm 9).
thou will also do more--towards Onesimus: hinting at his possible manumission by Philemon, besides, being kindly received.
