Notes

Paul was confident that he would soon be released from prison by the Roman authorities and visit the Philippians (see 1:19, 25–26).

Paul praises Timothy, whome he hopes to send to the Philippians in the near future. Timothy traveled with Paul on his first trip to Philippi (see Acts 16:1–3, 12; 17:15; 18:5; compare Acts 19:22). Timothy was known for dedicating his life to Jesus Christ and caring for others.
