(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)
This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Perhaps (tacha). Old adverb, in N.T. only here and Rom 5:7.
That thou shouldst have him (hina auton apechēis). Final clause with hina and present active subjunctive of apechō, to have back, “that thou might keep on having him back.”
For ever (aiōnion). “Eternal,” here and hereafter. Surely a noble thing for Paul to say and a word that would touch the best in Philemon.
