This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

I would (ἠθέλησα)

Compare I would, Phm 1:13. Here the aorist tense and the verb meaning to will denote a single, decisive resolution.

As it were of necessity (ὡς κατὰ ἀνάγκην)

Ὡς as it were, Rev., as, marks the appearance of necessity. Philemon's kindly reception of Onesimus must not even seem to be constrained.
