OET (OET-LV) Having_persuaded by_the obedience of_you, I_wrote to_you, having_known that even above what I_am_saying, you_will_be_doing.
OET (OET-RV) I wrote to you because I was sure that you’d obey my request, in fact knowing that you’d do even more than what I ask.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
πεποιθὼς τῇ ὑπακοῇ σου
/having/_persuaded ˱by˲_the obedience ˱of˲_you
If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind the abstract nouns confidence and obedience with verbs. Alternate translation: “Because I am confident that you will obey”
ἔγραψά σοι
˱I˲_wrote ˱to˲_you
Paul 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 write to you”
1:21 and even more: Paul might be hinting that he would like to see Onesimus released (cp. 1:13-14), or he might simply be expressing confidence in Philemon’s kindness.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
