A.T. Robertson Commentary
"But withal prepare me also a lodging: for I hope that through your prayers I shall be granted unto you." — Philemon 1:22 (ASV)
But withal (αμα δε). Along with your kindly reception of Onesimus. On αμα, see Ac 24:26; 27:40.
A lodging (ξενιαν). Old word from ξενος, stranger. In N.T. only here and Ac 28:23.
I shall be granted unto you (χαρισθησομα υμιν). First future passive of χαριζομα. Used either as a favour as here and Ac 3:14 or for destruction (Acts 25:11).
