Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Philemon 1:20

_ _ let me — “me” is emphatic: “Let me have profit (so Greek ‘for joy,’ onainen, referring to the name Onesimus, ‘profitable’) from thee, as thou shouldst have had from Onesimus”; for “thou owest thine ownself to me.”

_ _ in the Lord — not in worldly gain, but in thine increase in the graces of the Lord’s Spirit [Alford].

_ _ my bowels — my heart. Gratify my feelings by granting this request.

_ _ in the Lord — The oldest manuscripts read, “in Christ,” the element or sphere in which this act of Christian love naturally ought to have place.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Philemon 1:8-25.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes
