"Being certain that you will do my desire, I am writing to you, in the knowledge that you will do even more than I say."
— Philemon 1:21, Bible in Basic English
“Having confidence in thy obedience I wrote unto thee, knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say.”
“Having confidence in your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even beyond what I say.”
“Since I was confident that you would obey, I wrote to you, because I knew that you would do even more than what I am asking you to do.”
If he has done you any wrong or is in debt to you for anything, put it to my account.
I, Paul, writing this myself, say, I will make payment to you: and I do not say to you that you are in debt to me even for your life.
So brother, let me have joy of you in the Lord: give new life to my heart in Christ.
Being certain that you will do my desire, I am writing to you, in the knowledge that you will do even more than I say.
And make a room ready for me; for I am hoping that through your prayers I will be given to you.
Epaphras, my brother-prisoner in Christ Jesus, sends you his love;
And so do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my brother-workers.
