And many of the brethren in the Lord, becoming confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.
All Commentaries on Philippians 1:14 Go To Philippians 1
Tertullian of Carthage
AD 220
When (the apostle) mentions the several motives of those who were preaching the gospel, how that some, "waxing confident by his bonds, were more fearless in speaking the word "while others "preached Christ even out of envy and strife, and again others out of good-will "many also "out of love "and certain "out of contention "and some "in rivalry to himself"
