Philemon1:22

22 But withall, prepare me also a lodging, For I trust that through your prayers I shall be given to you .

This would incline one to think that this Epistle was written, before the second Epistle to Timothy, for there chap. 4.6, 7, 8. he seems to have other apprehensions: yet it is plain Timothy was with Paul, when he wrote this, which he was not when that second Epistle was written, as appears from chap. 4.9, 21. Here upon a confidence that through the help of the Churches Prayers, he should again come to them, he writeth to Philemon to prepare him a lodging.

Marginal references: Phil. 1.25. and 2.24.; 2 Cor. 1.11.
