Philippians 1:12

Ministry as a Prisoner

1:12 I want you to know, brothers and sisters, 1  that my situation has actually turned out to advance the gospel: 2 

Philippians 1:16

Context
1:16 The latter do so from love because they know that I am placed here for the defense of the gospel.

1 tn Grk “brothers,” but the Greek word may be used for “brothers and sisters” or “fellow Christians” as here (cf. BDAG 18 s.v. ἀδελφός 1, where considerable nonbiblical evidence for the plural ἀδελφοί [adelfoi] meaning “brothers and sisters” is cited).

2 tn Grk “for the advance of the gospel.” The genitive εὐαγγελίου (euangeliou) is taken as objective.
