Philemon 1:8

Paul’s Request for Onesimus

1:8 So, although I have quite a lot of confidence in Christ and could command you to do what is proper,

1:21 Since I was confident that you would obey, I wrote to you, because I knew that you would do even more than ¹  what I am asking you to do.

[1:21]  ¹ tn Grk “that you would even go beyond.”
