13	tn Grk “Just as.” The sense here is probably, “So I give thanks (v. 3) just as it is right for me …”
14	tn Or possibly “because you have me in your heart.”
15	tn Grk “in my bonds.” The meaning “imprisonment” derives from a figurative extension of the literal meaning (“bonds,” “fetters,” “chains”), L&N 37.115.
16	tn The word “God’s” is supplied from the context (v. 2) to clarify the meaning.
