THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE

Philippians 1:12 in context

Philippians 1:9–15

This I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment,

so that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense to the day of Christ,

being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

Selected verse

Now I desire to have you know, brothers,^† that the things which happened to me have turned out rather to the progress of the Good News,

so that it became evident to the whole palace guard, and to all the rest, that my bonds are in Christ,

and 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.

Some indeed preach Christ even out of envy and strife, and some also out of good will.

Notes from World English Bible Updated

The word for “brothers” here and where context allows may also be correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.”
