12ButI wouldyeshould understand, brethren, thatthe things which happened untomehave fallen outratheruntothe furtheranceof the gospel; 13So thatmybondsinChristaremanifestinallthe palace, andinallother places; 14Andmanyof the brethreninthe Lord, waxing confidentbymybonds, aremuch moreboldto speakthe wordwithout fear.
