Philippians 1:12-14

Expanded Bible

Paul’s Troubles Help the Work

¹² I want you brothers and sisters to know that what has happened to me has helped to ·spread [advance] the ·Good News [Gospel]. ¹³ All the ·palace guards [imperial guard; ^Lpraetorium; ^CCaesar’s elite troops] and everyone else knows that I am in ·prison [chains] ·because I am a believer in [or for the cause of] Christ. ¹⁴ Because I am in prison, most of the ·believers [^Lbrothers (and sisters)] have become more ·bold [confident] in the Lord and ·are not afraid [^Ldare without fear] to speak the word of God.
