Timothy was with Paul in Rome about the time of Paul’s first imprisonment there. Timothy is also mentioned in two other letters by Paul written from Rome during that time, namely, the letters to the Colossians and to Philemon. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070775/1/0" data-bid="2-1" class="b">Col 1:1, 2;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070775/1/1" data-bid="2-2" class="b"> Phm 1</a>) It appears that Timothy personally endured imprisonment in Rome sometime between the writing of the letter to the Philippians and the letter to the Hebrews.—<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070775/2/0" data-bid="3-1" class="b">Php 2:19;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070775/2/1" data-bid="3-2" class="b"> Heb 13:23</a>.</p> <p id="p7" data-pid="7" class="s5"><strong>slaves of Christ Jesus:</strong> See <a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1001070775/1/0">study note on Ro 1:1</a>.</p> <p id="p8" data-pid="8" class="s5"><strong>the holy ones:</strong> See <a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1001070775/2/0">study note on Ro 1:7</a>.</p> <p id="p9" data-pid="9" class="s5"><strong>Philippi:</strong> See <a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1001070775/3/0">study note on Ac 16:12</a>.</p> <p id="p10" data-pid="10" class="s5"><strong>overseers:</strong> Paul here uses the plural form of the Greek word for “overseer” (<em>e·piʹsko·pos</em>) when referring to those taking the lead in the congregation in Philippi. (Compare <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070775/3/0" data-bid="4-1" class="b">Ac 20:28</a>.) Elsewhere he mentions that a “body of elders” appointed Timothy to a special assignment. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070775/4/0" data-bid="5-1" class="b">1Ti 4:14</a>) Since Paul does not single out any one individual in those congregations as <em>the</em> overseer, it is evident that there was more than one overseer. This provides insight into the way first-century congregations were arranged. The terms “overseers” and “elders” are used interchangeably in the Christian Greek Scriptures, showing that they refer to the same position. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070775/5/0" data-bid="6-1" class="b">Ac 20:17,</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070775/5/1" data-bid="6-2" class="b"> 28;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070775/5/2" data-bid="6-3" class="b"> Tit 1:5,</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070775/5/3" data-bid="6-4" class="b"> 7</a>; compare <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070775/6/0" data-bid="7-1" class="b">1Pe 5:1, 2</a>.) The number of those serving as overseers in a congregation depended on how many men were qualified to serve as “elders,” or spiritually mature men, in that congregation.—<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070775/7/0" data-bid="8-1" class="b">Ac 14:23</a>; see <a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1001070775/4/0">study notes on Ac 20:17,</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1001070775/5/0"> 28</a>.</p> <p id="p11" data-pid="11" class="s5"><strong>ministerial servants:</strong> Or “assistants.” The Greek word <em>di·aʹko·nos,</em> literally meaning “servant,” is here used in an official sense, referring to appointed “ministerial servants” in the Christian congregation. It is used in a similar sense at <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070775/8/0" data-bid="9-1" class="b">1Ti 3:8,</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070775/8/1" data-bid="9-2" class="b"> 12</a>. Paul’s use of the term in the plural indicates that the congregation had a number of such servants assisting the overseers with various assignments. Instead of the terms “overseers and ministerial servants” in this verse, some Bibles use such titles as “bishops and deacons,” which Christendom uses to give the impression that there was a hierarchy among first-century Christians. However, renderings that clearly convey the intended meaning of these terms show that positions of responsibility in the Christian congregation do not elevate one above another. The rendering “ministerial servants” highlights the service that these hardworking men render in behalf of the congregation.</p> </span></li></ul></div><div class="group media"><div

Paul prayed that the love of the Philippian Christians would abound with such discernment so that they could distinguish between what is more important and what is less important from God’s standpoint. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070775/26/0" data-bid="27-1" class="b">Php 1:10</a>) A Christian’s moral sense is focused; he can perceive right from wrong, not only in clear-cut matters but also in complex situations in which the right course is not immediately apparent. He can then make proper decisions that will help him preserve his friendship with Jehovah.</p> </span></li></ul></div><div class="group marginal"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span

bonds for the sake of Christ [had] become public knowledge among all the Praetorian Guard.” This guard was an elite group of Roman soldiers, numbering into the thousands. The Greek word used here is derived from the Latin <em>praetorium,</em> which originally referred to the place (a tent or a building) where a Roman army commander resided. Starting with the reign of Caesar Augustus, the soldiers in the Praetorian Guard served as the Roman emperor’s bodyguard, which is why the Greek word used at <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070775/29/0" data-bid="30-1" class="b">Php 1:13</a> is rendered “the imperial guard” or “the palace guard” in some translations.

One was to remain alive in order to continue serving his brothers. The other was to die as a faithful servant of God. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070775/46/0" data-bid="47-1" class="b">2Ti 4:7, 8</a>) Paul did not say which one he would choose. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070775/47/0" data-bid="48-1" class="b">Php 1:22</a>) However, he did say that “the releasing and the being with Christ” was the better option. He knew that his remaining faithful until death was the only way to be assured of his heavenly reward during Christ’s presence.—<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070775/48/0" data-bid="49-1" class="b">Re 2:10</a>.</p> <p id="p39" data-pid="39" class="s5"><strong>the releasing:</strong> Paul is apparently referring to his death. In his second letter to Timothy, written about 65 C.E., he uses a related Greek word when he says regarding his death: “The time for my releasing is imminent.” (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070775/49/0" data-bid="50-1" class="b">2Ti 4:6</a>) The expressions “the releasing and the being with Christ” are apparently parallel to what Paul says at <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070775/50/0" data-bid="51-1" class="b">2Co 5:8</a>: “We . . . would prefer to be absent from the body and to make our home with the Lord.” He viewed his death as a faithful anointed servant of God as a “releasing,” paving the way for him to be resurrected later to life in Christ’s “heavenly Kingdom.” (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070775/51/0" data-bid="52-1" class="b">2Ti 4:18</a>) As Paul explained at <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070775/52/0" data-bid="53-1" class="b">1Co 15:23</a>, “those who belong to the Christ” would be resurrected to heavenly life “during [Christ’s future] presence.” So Paul is here expressing his desire to finish his earthly course faithfully so that he could later be resurrected to heavenly life. Paul’s usage of the term “releasing” is not unique. Other Greek writers used the term as a euphemism for dying.</p> </span></li></ul></div><div class="group marginal"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span class="icon"></span></span><span class="icon"></span><h4 class="title"><span class="scalableui">Marginal References</span></h4></div><ul class="content"><li class="item collapsible marginal marginalExpander collapsed" data-src="/en/wol/marginalreference/r1/lp-e/nwtsty/50/1/22" data-extract-id="verseMarginal-23"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span class="scalableui">+</span></span><span class="icon"></span><span class="marginal title"><span class="scalableui">2Co 5:1-4;

(<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070775/54/0" data-bid="55-1" class="b">Mt 24:37;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070775/54/1" data-bid="55-2" class="b"> 1Co 15:23</a>) Here Paul uses the term when expressing his hope to visit the Philippian Christians again.

Roman citizens generally took an active part in the affairs of the State because Roman citizenship was highly prized and it carried with it responsibilities and privileges. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070775/59/0" data-bid="60-1" class="b">Ac 22:25-30</a>) Thus, when Paul uses a form of this verb in connection with behaving <strong>in a manner worthy of the good news about the Christ,</strong> he conveys the idea of <em>participating</em> in Christian activity, especially in the declaring of this good news. Since the inhabitants of Philippi had been given a form of citizenship by Rome, they would have been familiar with this aspect of active participation.—See <a
