10 so that you may approve the things that are excellent; that you may be sincere and without offense to the day of Christ;
11 being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
12 Now I desire to have you know, brothers,{The word for 'brothers' here and where context allows may also be correctly translated 'brothers and sisters' or 'siblings.'} that the things which happened to me have turned out rather to the progress of the Gospel;
13 so that it became evident to the whole praetorian guard, and to all the rest, that my bonds are in Christ;
14 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.
