ἄξια γὰρ ὧν ἐπράξαμεν�. Literally, “we receive back things worthy of the crimes we did.”

οὐδὲν ἄτοπον ἔπραξεν. Literally, “did nothing out of place” (like our “out of the way,” i.e. nothing unusual or wrong). The word πράσσω in both clauses implies grave actions (see Luke 23:51), and this testimony implies entire innocence. It is the broadest possible acquittal. The word ἄτοπος occurs in 2 Thessalonians 3:2.
