This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
17. ἔχω οὖν. οὖν refers to the preceding statement of his mission—being in this relation to Christ Jesus and engaged on this work for Him, I am bold beyond what I should be if I were acting on my own account; shows how this statement justifies τολμ. ἔγραψα.
ἔχω καύχησιν = καυχῶμαι, emphasising the durative action.
ἐν Χρ. Ἰ. In my union with and service of Christ Jesus.
τὰ πρὸς τὸν θεόν. As regards my relation to GOD: accus. of ref. Blass, p. 94; cf. Heb 2:17.
