I Paul have written it with mine own hand -

It has been deduced from this, that Paul composed this whole Epistle with his own particular hand, however this was in opposition to his standard practice; think about the Romans 16:22

I Tertius, who wrote this epistle, salute you in the Lord.

Corinthians 16:21;

The salutation of me Paul with mine own hand.

Galatians 6:11

Ye see how large a letter I have written unto you with mine own hand.

He without a doubt intended to allude to this as a characteristic of exceptional support toward Philemon, and as outfitting security that he would absolutely be headed for what he had guaranteed.

I will repay it -

I will be security for it. It isn't plausible that Paul assumed that Philemon would unbendingly correct it from him, yet in the event that he did, he would feel himself bound to pay it.

Albeit I do not say to thee how thou owest unto me even thine own self besides -

Paul had surely been the methods for the change of Philemon, and whatever expectation he esteemed of interminable life, was to be followed to his instrumentality. Paul says this was proportionate to his owing himself to him. His extremely life - his unceasing welfare - was to be followed to his works. What he solicited now from him was a little issue contrasted and this, and he appears to have assumed - what was likely evident - that for this thought, Philemon would not consider demanding of him what he had willfully committed himself to comply.
