Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

I would have retained--different Greek from the "would," Phm 14, "I could have wished," "I was minded" here; but "I was not willing," Phm 14. in thy stead--that he might supply in your place all the services to me which you, if you were here, would render in virtue of the love you bear to me (Phm 19). bonds of the gospel--my bonds endured for the Gospel's sake (Phm 9).
