Philemon 1:8

8Therefore, although in Christ I could be bold and order you to do what you ought to do,

8Therefore, though I have 1:8 Lit muchenough confidence in Christ to order you to do what is proper,

8Therefore, though I have enough confidence in Christ to order you to do what is proper,

8Therefore [on the basis of these facts], though I have enough confidence in Christ to order you to do what is appropriate,

8So although in Christ I am bold enough to order you to do what is proper,

8Because of the authority Christ has given me, I could be bold. I could order you to do what you should do anyway.
