Kirsopp Lake translates this phrase («SUGCAIRW EMAUTWi») as if it is
dependent on the next part («ELPIZWN SWQHNAI»): I congratulate myself the
more (i.e., MALLON) in my hope of salvation. (Loeb) Perhaps it is
because he saw how the Spirit was poured out on them and was amazed to
think that he had become part of such a body of people.
My 2¢ for you.
