Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)
That I may be delivered (ina rusqw). First aorist passive subjunctive of ruomai, old verb to rescue. This use of ina is the sub-final one after words of beseeching or praying. Paul foresaw trouble all the way to Jerusalem (Acts 20:23; Acts 21:4, Acts 21:13).
May be acceptable to the saints (euprosdektov toiv agioiv genhtai). "May become (second aorist middle subjunctive of ginomai) acceptable to the saints." The Judaizers would give him trouble. There was peril of a schism in Christianity.
