Dengan percaya kepada ketaatanmu, kutuliskan ini kepadamu. Aku tahu, lebih dari pada permintaanku ini akan kaulakukan.
Maka oleh sebab menaruh yakin akan taatmu aku suratkan kepadamu dengan mengetahui, bahwa engkau akan berbuat lebih daripada apa yang aku katakan itu.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Having confidence in thy obedience,.... In his obedience of faith to Christ, and his Gospel; he having been made willing in the day of his power to serve him, as well as to be saved by him; and being constrained by his love, and the Spirit of Christ having wrought in him both to will and to do of his good pleasure:
l wrote unto thee, knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say; the knowledge the apostle had of Philemon's cheerful obedience to Christ in all the parts of duty, encouraged him to write to him, on this head; believing that he would even do more than he had desired of him.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Having confidence in thy obedience - That you would comply with all my expressed desires.
I wrote unto thee - “I have written to you;” to wit, in this Epistle.
Knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say - In all the respects which he had mentioned - in receiving Onesimus, and in his kind treatment of him. He had asked a great favor of him, but he knew that he would go even beyond what he had asked.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Philemon 1:21. Having confidence in thy obedience — I know that it will please thee thus to oblige thy friend, and I know that thou wilt do more than I request, because thou feelest the affection of a son to thy spiritual father. Some think that the apostle hints to Philemon that he should manumit Onesimus.
