As a result, it has become clear throughout the whole palace guard and to everyone else that I am in chains for Christ.

One thing has become clear. I am being held by chains because I am a witness for Christ. All the palace guards and everyone else know it.

so that it has become known throughout the whole imperial guard and to all the rest that my imprisonment is for Christ.

For everyone here, including the whole palace guard, knows that I am in chains because of Christ.

so that it has become known throughout the whole imperial guard, and to everyone else, that my imprisonment is because I am in Christ.

so that my imprisonment in the cause of Christ has become well known throughout the praetorian guard and to everyone else,

so that it has become evident to the whole palace guard, and to all the rest, that my chains are in Christ;

so that my bonds became manifest in Christ throughout the whole prætorian guard, and to all the rest;

So that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace, and in all other[ places];

The whole imperial guard and everyone else knows that I am in prison for the sake of Christ,

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

I suffer for it to the point of being bound like a criminal, but God’s message is not bound.

For this reason, I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles—

It is right for me to think this way about all of you, because I have you in my heart, and you are all partners with me in grace, both in my imprisonment and in the defense and establishment of the gospel.

For this I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I might be bold enough in Him to speak as I should.

Then he stayed two whole years in his own rented house. And he welcomed all who visited him,

At the same time, pray also for us that God may open a door to us for the message, to speak the mystery of the Messiah, for which I am in prison,so that I may reveal it as I am required to speak.Act wisely toward outsiders, making the most of the time.Your speech should always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you should answer each person.Tychicus, our dearly loved brother, faithful servant, and fellow slave in the Lord, will tell you all the news about me.I have sent him to you for this very purpose, so that you may know how we are and so that he may encourage your hearts.He is with Onesimus, a faithful and dearly loved brother, who is one of you. They will tell you about everything here.Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner, greets you, as does Mark, Barnabas’s cousin( concerning whom you have received instructions: if he comes to you, welcome him),and so does Jesus who is called Justus. These alone of the circumcision are my coworkers for the kingdom of God, and they have been a comfort to me.Epaphras, who is one of you, a slave of Christ Jesus, greets you. He is always contending for you in his prayers, so that you can stand mature and fully assured in everything God wills.For I testify about him that he works hard for you, for those in Laodicea, and for those in Hierapolis.Luke, the dearly loved physician, and Demas greet you.Give my greetings to the brothers in Laodicea, and to Nympha and the church in her home.When this letter has been read among you, have it read also in the church of the Laodiceans; and see that you also read the letter from Laodicea.And tell Archippus,“ Pay attention to the ministry you have received in the Lord, so that you can accomplish it.”This greeting is in my own hand— Paul. Remember my imprisonment. Grace be with you.

For this reason I’ve asked to see you and speak to you. In fact, it is for the hope of Israel that I’m wearing this chain.”

and when they had left they talked with each other and said,“ This man is doing nothing that deserves death or chains.”

All the saints greet you, but especially those from Caesar’s household.

Dear friends, don’t be surprised when the fiery ordeal comes among you to test you as if something unusual were happening to you.Instead, rejoice as you share in the sufferings of the Messiah, so that you may also rejoice with great joy at the revelation of His glory.If you are ridiculed for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you.None of you, however, should suffer as a murderer, a thief, an evildoer, or a meddler.But if anyone suffers as a“ Christian,” he should not be ashamed but should glorify God in having that name.

“ I wish before God,” replied Paul,“ that whether easily or with difficulty, not only you but all who listen to me today might become as I am— except for these chains.”

Therefore I, the prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk worthy of the calling you have received,

After three days he called together the leaders of the Jews. When they had gathered he said to them:“ Brothers, although I have done nothing against our people or the customs of our ancestors, I was delivered as a prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans.

He came to us, took Paul’s belt, tied his own feet and hands, and said,“ This is what the Holy Spirit says:‘ In this way the Jews in Jerusalem will bind the man who owns this belt and deliver him into Gentile hands.’”When we heard this, both we and the local people begged him not to go up to Jerusalem.Then Paul replied,“ What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound but also to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.”

except that in town after town the Holy Spirit testifies to me that chains and afflictions are waiting for me.But I count my life of no value to myself, so that I may finish my course and the ministry I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of God’s grace.

For the Lord’s message rang out from you, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place that your faith in God has gone out. Therefore, we don’t need to say anything,for they themselves report what kind of reception we had from you: how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God
