Commentaries:
Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)
Of me Paul with mine own hand (th emh xeiri Paulou). More precisely, "with the hand of me Paul." The genitive Paulou is in apposition with the idea in the possessive pronoun emh, which is itself in the instrumental case agreeing with xeiri. So also II Thessalonians 3:17; I Corinthians 16:21.
My bonds (mou twn desmwn). Genitive case with mnemoneuete (remember). The chain (en alusei Ephesians 6:20) clanked afresh as Paul took the pen to sign the salutation. He was not likely to forget it himself.
