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

以致我受的捆锁在御营全军和其余的人中，已经显明是为基督的缘故。

以致御营全军和其余的人都知道我是为基督的缘故受捆锁的；

以致御营全军和其余的人都知道我是为基督的缘故受捆锁的；

连所有的皇家卫兵和其他众人都知道我是为了基督的缘故而受囚禁。

以致整个宫里的卫队和其余一切的人，都知道我是为了基督才受捆锁的；

以致整个王宫卫队和所有其余的人，都清楚我是为基督的缘故被捆锁的；

以致我受的捆鎖在御營全軍和其餘的人中，已經顯明是為基督的緣故。

以致御營全軍和其餘的人都知道我是為基督的緣故受捆鎖的；

以致御營全軍和其餘的人都知道我是為基督的緣故受捆鎖的；

連所有的皇家衛兵和其他眾人都知道我是為了基督的緣故而受囚禁。

以致整個宮裡的衛隊和其餘一切的人，都知道我是為了基督才受捆鎖的；

以致我的受捆鎖、在御營全軍和其餘眾人中間，都顯明了是為基督的緣故而受的，

以致整個王宮衛隊和所有其餘的人，都清楚我是為基督的緣故被捆鎖的；

致我緣基督而受之縲絏、徧揚於御營、以及各方、

我緣基督、陷於縲絏、遍聞營壘、隨在播揚、

蓋我為基督受縲絏、徧聞於御營、以及他處、

蓋予為基督而受縲絏、已為御營內外公認之事。

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 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 it has become known throughout the whole imperial guard, and to everyone else, that my imprisonment is in the cause of Christ.

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,

for which I suffer hardship even to imprisonment as a criminal; but the word of God is not imprisoned.

For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles—

For it is only right for me to feel this way about you all, because I have you in my heart, since both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers of grace with me.

for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in proclaiming it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

Now Paul stayed two full years in his own rented lodging and welcomed all who came to him,

praying at the same time for us as well, that God will open up to us a door for the word, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I have also been imprisoned;that I may make it clear in the way that I ought to proclaim it.Conduct yourselves with wisdom toward outsiders, making the most of the opportunity.Your speech must always be with grace, as though seasoned with salt, so that you will know how you should respond to each person.As to all my affairs, Tychicus, our beloved brother and faithful servant and fellow bond servant in the Lord, will bring you information.For I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know about our circumstances and that he may encourage your hearts;and with him is Onesimus, our faithful and beloved brother, who is one of your own. They will inform you about the whole situation here.Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner, sends you his greetings; and also Barnabas’ cousin Mark( about whom you received instructions; if he comes to you, welcome him);and also Jesus who is called Justus; these are the only fellow workers for the kingdom of God who are from the circumcision, and they have proved to be an encouragement to me.Epaphras, who is one of your own, a bond servant of Christ Jesus, sends you his greetings, always striving earnestly for you in his prayers, that you may stand mature and fully assured in all the will of God.For I testify for him that he has a deep concern for you and for those who are in Laodicea and Hierapolis.Luke, the beloved physician, sends you his greetings, and Demas does also.Greet the brothers and sisters who are in Laodicea and also Nympha and the church that is in her house.When this letter is read among you, have it also read in the church of the Laodiceans; and you, for your part, read my letter that is coming from Laodicea.Tell Archippus,“ See to the ministry which you have received in the Lord, so that you may fulfill it.”I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand. Remember my imprisonment. Grace be with you.

For this reason, therefore, I requested to see you and to speak with you, since I am wearing this chain for the sake of the hope of Israel.”

and when they had gone out, they began talking to one another, saying,“ This man is not doing anything deserving death or imprisonment.”

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

Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal among you, which comes upon you for your testing, as though something strange were happening to you;but to the degree that you share the sufferings of Christ, keep on rejoicing, so that at the revelation of His glory you may also rejoice and be overjoyed.If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory, and of God, rests upon you.Make sure that none of you suffers as a murderer, or thief, or evildoer, or a troublesome meddler;but if anyone suffers as a Christian, he is not to be ashamed, but is to glorify God in this name.

And Paul said,“ I would wish to God that even in a short or long time not only you, but also all who hear me this day would become such as I myself am, except for these chains.”

Therefore I, the prisoner of the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called,

After three days Paul called together those who were the leading men of the Jews, and when they came together, he began saying to them,“ Brothers, though I had done nothing against our people or the customs of our fathers, yet I was handed over to the Romans as a prisoner from Jerusalem.

And he came to us and took Paul’s belt and bound 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 hand him over to the Gentiles.’ ”When we had heard this, we as well as the local residents began begging 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 even to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.”

except that the Holy Spirit solemnly testifies to me in every city, saying that chains and afflictions await me.But I do not consider my life of any account as dear to myself, so that I may finish my course and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify solemnly of the gospel of God’s grace.

For the word of the Lord has sounded forth from you, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place the news of your faith toward God has gone out, so that we have no need to say anything.For they themselves report about us as to the kind of reception we had with you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve a living and true God,
