I read this line somewhere,

"Lord, I am not worthy enough to be had under your roof."

Can some one please tell me if it's correct to say so (grammatically, that is ) Smile ?

'To be had'? This seems a bit obscure.

What would be better is "Lord, I am not worthy to be under your roof". The 'enough' is implied Smile
