Translation: James Murdock

CrossWire identifies this exact historical source module as Public Domain. https://www.crosswire.org/sword/modules/ModInfo.jsp?modName=Murdock. Primary text normalized to plain Unicode: OSIS/GBF control tags are not displayed; translated words, critical punctuation and explicit source addresses are retained. Source typography and paragraph/poetry/quotation markers are retained as source-format metadata; this reader does not reproduce the printed typography. Separate headings and notes are not merged into translated verse text. Source archive and checksums are preserved. The module identifies publication 1852; this does not assert the shortlisted 1851 printing. Philemon 1:1 was corrected against the original 1852 New York: Stanford and Swords printing, printed page 394 (scan leaf 418), https://archive.org/details/newtestamentorbo1852murd/page/n417/mode/2up. The digital base had mistakenly repeated Titus 2:15 at this reference. The original digital-base attribution and source-package checksum are retained.

The rights statement answers a reuse question; it does not remove the need to compare translation choices, textual traditions, book order, and verse numbering. Spirit Nation keeps this edition identified on every chapter.
