Philippians / Question
Question source
Philippians
Paul says his imprisonment has served to advance the gospel: Philippians 1:12. It became known throughout the imperial guard and others that his imprisonment was for Christ, and it gave many believers greater boldness to speak: Philippians 1:13–14.
12Now I desire to have you know, brothers, that the things which happened to me have turned out rather to the progress of the gospel;
13so that my bonds became revealed in Christ throughout the whole praetorian guard, and to all the rest;
14and that most of the brothers in the Lord, being confident through my bonds, are more abundantly bold to speak the word of God without fear.
