On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Philemon, a Phrygian, might perhaps be naturally of a rough and difficult temper, and thence need no little pains in touching all the springs that might move him to forgiveness and reconciliation; but rather should we strive to be like God, who is slow to anger, ready to forgive, and abundant in pardons.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Receive him, that is, my own bowels - Whom I love as my own soul. Such is the natural affection of a father in Christ toward his spiritual children.

John Wesley (NT Notes)· Explanatory Notes upon the Bible, 1765evangelical
