9And I pray this: that your love will keep on growing in knowledge and every kind of discernment, 10so that you may approve the things that are superior and may be pure and blameless in the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ to the glory and praise of God. 12Now I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that what has happened to me has actually advanced the gospel, 13so that it has become known throughout the whole imperial guard, and to everyone else, that my imprisonment is because I am in Christ.
