I Paul have written it with mine own hand, I will repay it: albeit I do not say to thee how thou owest unto me even thine own self besides.
With mine own hand - not employing an amanuensis, as in other letters: a special compliment of which Philemon ought to show his appreciation by granting Paul's request. Contrast Colossians 4:18. The letter to the Colossians, accompanying our letter, had only its "salutation" written by Paul's hand.
Albeit ... х hina (G2443) mee (G3361) logoo (G3056)] - 'that I may not say,' etc. Thou owest unto me even thine own self - not merely thy possessions. For to my instrumentality thou owest thy salvation. So the debt which 'he oweth thee,' making myself responsible for it, is cancelled.
