p:
1 Peter 2:10 Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
q:
Philemon 1:18 If he hath wronged thee, or oweth thee ought, put that on mine account;
Philemon 1:16 Not now as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved, specially to me, but how much more unto thee, both in the flesh, and in the Lord?
αχρηστον he useth a soft word, for it appears, Phm 1:18, he had
him, taking away some of his goods, and running away with them, without Philemon’s knowledge, which made him doubly criminal.
but now ευχρηστον, profitable, one that may be profitable to thee, having learned Christ, and to me, who have used him in my service, and whose conversion will add to my crown.
