OET interlinear PHM 1:19

uW Translation Notes:

ἐγὼ Παῦλος ἔγραψα τῇ ἐμῇ χειρί

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἐγώ Παῦλος ἔγραψα τῇ ἐμῇ χειρί ἐγώ ἀποτίσω ἵνα μή λέγω σοί ὅτι καί σεαυτόν μοί προσοφείλεις)

Paul wrote this part with his own hand so that Philemon would know that these words were really from Paul, and that Paul really would pay him. He used the past tense here because the action of writing would be in the past when Philemon read the letter. Use the tense that is most natural in your language. Alternate translation: [I, Paul, write this myself.]

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / irony

ἵνα μὴ λέγω σοι

in_order_that (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἐγώ Παῦλος ἔγραψα τῇ ἐμῇ χειρί ἐγώ ἀποτίσω ἵνα μή λέγω σοί ὅτι καί σεαυτόν μοί προσοφείλεις)

Paul says that he will not say something to Philemon while saying it. This is a polite way of emphasizing the truth of what Paul is telling him. If your language would not use irony like this, then use a more natural expression. Alternate translation: [I do not need to remind you] or [You already know]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

καὶ σεαυτόν μοι προσοφείλεις

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἐγώ Παῦλος ἔγραψα τῇ ἐμῇ χειρί ἐγώ ἀποτίσω ἵνα μή λέγω σοί ὅτι καί σεαυτόν μοί προσοφείλεις)

Paul was implying that whatever Onesimus or Paul owed to Philemon was canceled by the larger amount that Philemon owed to Paul, which was Philemon’s own life. The reason that Philemon owed Paul his life can be made explicit. Alternate translation: [you even owe me your own life] or [you owe me much more because I saved your life] or [you owe me your own life because I told you about Jesus]
