The Progress of the Gospel
12 Now I want you to know, brothers, that my circumstances[a] have happened instead for the progress of the gospel, 13 so that my imprisonment in Christ has become known in the whole praetorium[b] and to all the rest, 14 and most of the brothers, trusting in the Lord because of my imprisonment, dare even more to speak the word without fear.
