Context of Philippians 1:11

9Now this I pray, that your love might overflow still more and more in knowledge and depth of discernment, 10in order to approve what is excellent—so that in the Day of Messiah you may be sincere and blameless, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Yeshua the Messiah, to the glory and praise of God. 12Now I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that what has happened to me has actually resulted in the advancement of the Good News. 13And so my imprisonment in the cause of Messiah has become well known throughout the whole Praetorian Guard and to everyone else.
