The Gospel Is Preached
12 Now I want you to know, brethren, that my circumstances (A)have turned out for the greater progress of the (B)gospel, 13 so that my [a](C)imprisonment in the cause of Christ has become well known throughout the whole [b]praetorian guard and to (D)everyone else, 14 and that most of the [c]brethren, trusting in the Lord because of my [d](E)imprisonment, have (F)far more courage to speak the word of God without fear.

New International Version
Paul’s Chains Advance the Gospel
12 Now I want you to know, brothers and sisters,[a] that what has happened to me has actually served to advance the gospel. 13 As a result, it has become clear throughout the whole palace guard[b] and to everyone else that I am in chains(A) for Christ. 14 And because of my chains,(B) most of the brothers and sisters have become confident in the Lord and dare all the more to proclaim the gospel without fear.(C)
