¹ tn Or “worked through”; the same word is also used in relation to Paul later in this verse.

² tn Or “his ministry as an apostle.”

³ tn Grk “to the circumcision,” i.e., the Jewish people.

⁴ tn Grk “also empowered me to the Gentiles.”

⁵ tn Grk “voice” or “tone.” The contemporary English expression “tone of voice” is a good approximation to the meaning here.

⁶ tn Paul is probably referring to scars from wounds received in the service of Jesus, although the term στίγμα (stigma) may imply ownership and suggest these scars served as brands (L&N 8.55; 33.481; 90.84).
