This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Yea (ναί)
A confirmatory particle, gathering up the whole previous intercession for Onesimus. So Mat 11:26, even so; Rev., yea. Luk 11:51, verily; Rev., yea. Luk 12:5, yea.
Let me have joy (ὀναίμην)
Or help. Lit., may I profit. Again a play upon the name Onesimus. The verb is frequently used with reference to filial duties. Ignatius employs it, in one instance, directly after an allusion to another Onesimus (Ephesians, 2).
