Paul was in prison, but while his body was in chains his heart was not.
His love and concern for the Christians in Philippi is evident in his letter to them.
He longed to hear that they lived worthy of the gospel, that they stood fast in one spirit, that they were not terrified of their adversaries, but were an example to all.
Paul knew that it was not only he who faced conflict, but all believers will face conflict of varying sorts.
However, consolation could be found in Christ and in the fellowship of the Holy Spirit.
So as he encouraged them toward godly conduct, he knowingly did so that it is not without the need to strive will that be achieved.
