Philippians 1:12-14
Revised Geneva Translation
12 Brothers, I desire that you understand that the things which are against me have really caused a furthering of the Gospel.
13 So, as for my bonds in Christ, they are famous throughout all the Praetorium and in all other places;
14 so much so that many of the brothers in the Lord are emboldened by my bonds and dare speak the word of God more frankly.

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)
