Matthew Poole and continuators on Philemon 1:21

21 Having confidence in thy obedience , I wrote unto thee, knowing that thou wilt also do more then I say .

I have not written this without a confidence that thou in this thing wilt do what I desire of thee.

But I write it out of my affection to poor Onesimus, and desire to help him not doubting of thy readiness to do the thing.
