Save that (plhn oti). The oti clause is really in the ablative case after plhn, here a preposition as in Philippians 1:18, this idiom plhn oti occasionally in ancient Greek.
In every city (kata polin). Singular here though plural in kat oikouv (verse Acts 20:20).
Bonds and afflictions (desma kai qliyeiv). Both together as in Philippians 1:17; II Corinthians 1:8. Literal bonds and actual pressures.
Abide me (me menousin). With the accusative as in verse Acts 20:5 (emenon hmav) and nowhere else in the N.T.
