On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

It deserves attention, that he at the same time prays for that very thing for which he "gives thanks." Even the most perfect, so long as they live in the world, never have so good ground for congratulation as not to need prayers, that God may grant to them, not only to persevere till the end, but likewise to make progress from day to day.

John Calvin· Commentaries, 1554reformed

The apostle's thanksgiving and prayer for Philemon are here set forth by the object, circumstance, and matter of them, with the way whereby much of the knowledge of Philemon's goodness came to him. Here is the object of Paul's praises and prayers for Philemon: I thank my God, making mention of thee in my prayers,

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Paul, in his private thanksgivings and prayers, was often particular in remembering his friends: I thank my God, making mention of thee in my prayers; sometimes it may be by name, or at least having them particularly in his thoughts; and God knows who is meant, though not named. This is a means of exercising love, and obtaining good for others.
