Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Philemon 1:19

_ _ with mine own hand — not employing an amanuensis, as in other Epistles: a special compliment to Philemon which he ought to show his appreciation of by granting Paul’s request. Contrast Colossians 4:18, which shows that the Epistle to the Colossian Church, accompanying this Epistle, had only its closing “salutation” written by Paul’s own hand.

_ _ albeit, etc. — literally, “that I may not say ... not to say,” etc.

_ _ thou owest ... even thine own self — not merely thy possessions. For to my instrumentality thou owest thy salvation. So the debt which “he oweth thee” being transferred upon me (I making myself responsible for it) is cancelled.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Philemon 1:8-25.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Philemon 1:19

I will repay it — If thou requirest it. Not to say, that then owest me thyself — It cannot be expressed, how great our obligation is to those who have gained our souls to Christ. Beside — Receiving Onesimus.
