Then the commanding officer came up and arrested him and ordered him to be tied up with two chains; he then asked who he was and what he had done.

I have a hope in God(a hope that these men themselves accept too) that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.

Paul replied,“I pray to God that whether in a short or a long time not only you but also all those who are listening to me today could become such as I am, except for these chains.”

for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may be able to speak boldly as I ought to speak.

I, Paul, write this greeting by my own hand. Remember my chains. Grace be with you.

for which I suffer hardship to the point of imprisonment as a criminal, but God’s message is not imprisoned!

I wanted to keep him with me so that he could serve me in your place during my imprisonment for the sake of the gospel.
