Philemon 20 – Refresh My Heart
V.20 – Refresh my heart
Already mentioned by Paul was Philemon’s refreshing of the saints (v.7). Paul is now asking for the same “benefit.” This has both a physical and spiritual application. It seems Paul is asking for the return of Onesimus which would be a physical benefit. The spiritual is twofold:
1) That Philemon does what is proper;
2) That Onesimus could be a spiritual help to Paul. We know that he was not interested in selfish gain for the refreshing was to be “in Christ.”
