Howbeit (plhn). Common after ouk allo as a preposition with the ablative (Mark 12:32), but here a conjunction as in Philippians 1:18.
Hold fast (krathsate). First aorist active imperative of kratew, either ingressive (get a grip on) or constative (hold on as a single decisive effort). See present imperative kratei in Revelation 3:11 (keep on holding).
Till I come (axri ou an hcw). Indefinite temporal clause with axri ou (until which time) with modal an and either the future active indicative or the first aorist active subjunctive of hkw (usual idiom with axri in Revelation as in Revelation 7:3; Revelation 15:8; Revelation 20:3, Revelation 20:5).
