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
John Chrysostom
AD 407
“It is confidence in the Lord, not in me as such, that is elicited by my chains. As others take courage from my bonds, so do I. As I become the cause of confidence to others, much more does this have an effect within myself.” … Note how Paul, even in speaking of great things, remains aware of the tendency toward pride and does not cease to enjoin modesty. .
