translation, will not fail to find Him. However - for the teacher who
wants to get as close to the original text as possible, then Textual
Criticism takes on a new dimension of importance. But - what God has
reserved for these last days in His Bible Numerics as uncovered so
carefully by Russian Ivan Panin, cannot fail to impress us as it
leads us to accurate teaching. The very fact that “</span></span></span></font><u><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="">context</span></span></font></u><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">”
is so carefully laid out by sentence, sub-paragraph, paragraph and
section structure, cannot fail to impress us with its clarity and
simplicity. This book of Philemon is chapter 132 of the Interlinear
Greek bible Numeric NT based on these discoveries that I have just
completed, out of the 260 chapters of the full NT. This was the
desire of Panin to see accomplished, but until now since his death in
1942 - is finally about to see his dream fully realized. J.A.W.</span></span></span></font></font></p>
