9. And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment;
10. so that ye may approve the things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and void of offence unto the day of Christ;
11. being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are through Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.
12. Now I would have you know, brethren, that the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the progress of the gospel;
13. so that my bonds became manifest in Christ throughout the whole praetorian guard, and to all the rest;
