Context of Philippians 1:13
11Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God. 12But I would ye should understand, brethren, that the things which happened to me have fallen out rather to the furtherance of the gospel; So that my bonds in Christ are known in all the palace, and in all other places ; 14And many of the brethren in the Lord, being more confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear. 15Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife; and some also from good will:

Commentaries on Philippians 1:13
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 13My bonds - are manifest in all the palace - In consequence of the public defense which he was obliged to make, his doctrines must be fully known in the court, and throughout the whole city, as on his trial he would necessarily explain the whole. The praetorium, , which we here translate palace, signifies the court where causes were heard and judged by the praetor or civil magistrate; it sometimes signifies the general's tent, and at others, the emperor's…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 13So that my bonds in Christ - Margin, “for.” The meaning is, his bonds in the cause of Christ.
