Philemon 1:7
Douay-Rheims
For I have had great joy and consolation in thy charity, because the bowels of the saints have been refreshed by thee, brother.
Adam Clarke
For we have great joy - This verse does not read harmoniously. The Greek authorizes the following arrangement: For we have great joy and consolation in thy love, O brother, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee. The apostle speaks here of the works of charity in which Philemon abounded towards poor Christians.
