Exegesis
The prepositional phrase en tē polei tautē {ἐν τῇ πόλει ταύτῃ | en tê pó-lei taú-tê} specifies location ‘in this city,’ connecting the promise of protection to Paul’s place of ministry. Causal conjunctions are rendered as “for” or “because,” the articular infinitive as English purpose phrases, and the dative of possession with “I have” and “belong to Me” to convey relational ownership.
