Philemon 1:19

19. Mine own hand It is unreasonable to suppose, as some commentators do, that Paul took up his stilus and wrote solely this sentence. He may be supposed to have written so brief an epistle with his own hand. And this emphatic mine own hand constitutes a good promissory note, that if Philemon cannot bear the pecuniary loss resulting from pardon, amnesty, and emancipation, I Paul will.

Albeit A slight stay against Philemon’s enforcing the promissory note.

Owest… thine own self And so art bound to what my request and thy duty inspire thee to do.
