Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

τῇ ἐμῇ χειρὶ

¬the ˱in˲_my_‹own› hand

Here, the phrase in my own hand is an idiom meaning “in my own handwriting.” If your readers would not understand this, you could use an equivalent idiom or use plain language. Alternate translation: “I myself am writing”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

οὕτως γράφω

thus ˱I˲_/am/_writing

Paul makes it clear that this letter is from him and is not a forgery. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could express that explicitly. Alternate translation: “you could know that the letter is from me because this is how I write”
