Philemon1:8
8 Wherefore, though I might be much bold in Christ , to injoyn thee , that which is convenient .
In the Greek it is wherefore having much [non-Latin text not transcribed], boldness, liberty or freedom of speech, or much power and authority or right as Heb. 10.19. for Christs sake, being Christs Apostle, or speaking for the sake of Christ.
To command thee, authoritatively.
[non-Latin text not transcribed], things that are expedient, or convenient fit for thee to do. My office authorizeth me in such cases.
