# What then?

Paul uses this question to tell how he feels about the situation he wrote about in [Philippians 15-17](./15.md). Possible meanings are 1) this is an idiom that means "It does not matter." or 2) the words "shall I think about this" are understood as part of the question. AT: "What then shall I think about this?" or "This is what I think about it" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-ellipsis]])

The exact meaning of "deliverance," what God will deliver Paul from, is not clear. Possible meanings are that 1) Paul was referring to being helped out of a bad situation or 2) Paul was referring specifically to being set free from prison.
