21 Having confidence G3982 in thy G4675 obedience G5218 I wrote G1125 unto thee, G4671 knowing G1492 that G3754 thou wilt G4160 also G2532 do G4160 more than G3739 G5228 I say. G3004
And G2532 I wrote G1125 this G5124 same G846 unto you, G5213 lest, G3363 when I came, G2064 I should have G2192 sorrow G3077 from G575 them of whom G3739 I G3165 ought G1163 to rejoice; G5463 having confidence G3982 in G1909 you G5209 all, G3956 that G3754 my G1699 joy G5479 is G2076 the joy of you G5216 all. G3956
I rejoice G5463 therefore that G3754 I have confidence G2292 in G1722 you G5213 in G1722 all G3956 things.
And G1161 we have sent G4842 with them G846 our G2257 brother, G80 whom G3739 we have G1381 oftentimes G4178 proved G1381 G5607 diligent G4705 in G1722 many things, G4183 but G1161 now G3570 much G4183 more diligent, G4707 upon the great G4183 confidence G4006 which G3588 I have in G1519 you. G5209

Commentary on Philemon 1 Matthew Henry Commentary
Chapter 1
In this epistle we have,
Phm 1:1-7
Phm 1:8-25
We have here,
Amen is added, not only for strong and affectionate summing up the prayer and wish, so let it be; but as an expression of faith that it will be heard, so shall it be. And what need we more to make us happy than to have the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ with our spirit? This is the usual benediction, but it may be taken here to have some special respect also to the occasion; the grace of Christ with their spirits, Philemon's especially, would sweeten and mollify them, take off too deep and keen resentments of injuries, and dispose to forgive others as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven us.
