Philemon 19-21
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
19 I, Paul, wrote this with my own hand, I will repay— in order that I may not be saying to you that you indeed owe[a] yourself to me! 20 Yes, brother, may I profit[b] from you in the Lord. Refresh my deep-feelings in Christ.
I Have Confidence In Your Response, And Hope To See You Soon
21 I wrote to you having confidence in your obedience, knowing that you will do even beyond the things which I am saying.

New International Version
19 I, Paul, am writing this with my own hand.(A) I will pay it back—not to mention that you owe me your very self. 20 I do wish, brother, that I may have some benefit from you in the Lord; refresh(B) my heart in Christ. 21 Confident(C) of your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even more than I ask.
