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.

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

for which I suffer hardship to the point of imprisonment as a criminal, but God’s message is not imprisoned!

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

For it is right for me to think this about all of you, because I have you in my heart, since both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel all of you became partners in God’s grace together with me.

for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may be able to speak boldly as I ought to speak.

Paul lived there two whole years in his own rented quarters and welcomed all who came to him,

At the same time pray for us too, that God may open a door for the message so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains.Pray that I may make it known as I should.Conduct yourselves with wisdom toward outsiders, making the most of the opportunities.Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you should answer everyone.Tychicus, a dear brother, faithful minister, and fellow slave in the Lord, will tell you all the news about me.I sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know how we are doing and that he may encourage your hearts.I sent him with Onesimus, the faithful and dear brother, who is one of you. They will tell you about everything here.Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner, sends you greetings, as does Mark, the cousin of Barnabas( about whom you received instructions; if he comes to you, welcome him).And Jesus who is called Justus also sends greetings. In terms of Jewish converts, these are the only fellow workers for the kingdom of God, and they have been a comfort to me.Epaphras, who is one of you and a slave of Christ, greets you. He is always struggling in prayer on your behalf, so that you may stand mature and fully assured in all the will of God.For I can testify that he has worked hard for you and for those in Laodicea and Hierapolis.Our dear friend Luke the physician and Demas greet you.Give my greetings to the brothers and sisters who are in Laodicea and to Nympha and the church that meets in her house.And after you have read this letter, have it read to the church of Laodicea. In turn, read the letter from Laodicea as well.And tell Archippus,“ See to it that you complete the ministry you received in the Lord.”I, Paul, write this greeting by my own hand. Remember my chains. Grace be with you.

So for this reason I have asked to see you and speak with you, for I am bound with this chain because of the hope of Israel.”

and as they were leaving they said to one another,“ This man is not doing anything deserving death or imprisonment.”

All the saints greet you, especially those who belong to Caesar’s household.

Dear friends, do not be astonished that a trial by fire is occurring among you, as though something strange were happening to you.But rejoice in the degree that you have shared in the sufferings of Christ, so that when his glory is revealed you may also rejoice and be glad.If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory, who is the Spirit of God, rests on you.But let none of you suffer as a murderer or thief or criminal or as a troublemaker.But if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but glorify God that you bear such a name.

Paul replied,“ I pray to God that whether in a short or a long time not only you but also all those who are listening to me today could become such as I am, except for these chains.”

I, therefore, the prisoner for the Lord, urge you to live worthily of the calling with which you have been called,

After three days Paul called the local Jewish leaders together. When they had assembled, he said to them,“ Brothers, although I had done nothing against our people or the customs of our ancestors, from Jerusalem I was handed over as a prisoner to the Romans.

He came to us, took Paul’s belt, tied his own hands and feet with it, and said,“ The Holy Spirit says this:‘ This is the way the Jews in Jerusalem will tie up the man whose belt this is, and will hand him over to the Gentiles.’”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 tied up, but even to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.”

except that the Holy Spirit warns me in town after town that imprisonment and persecutions are waiting for me.But I do not consider my life worth anything to myself, so that I may finish my task and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the good news of God’s grace.

For from you the message of the Lord has echoed forth not just in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place reports of your faith in God have spread, so that we do not need to say anything.For people everywhere report how you welcomed us and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God
