1 tn Or “salvation.” Deliverance from prison (i.e., release) is probably what Paul has in view here, although some take this as a reference to his ultimate release from the body, i.e., dying and being with Christ (v. 23).

3 tn Grk “to know him, the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings.”
