# General Information:
Paul says that two things have happened because of "the progress of the gospel": many people inside and outside the palace have found out why he is in prison, and other Christians are no longer afraid to proclaim the good news.
# Now I want
Here the word "Now" is used to mark a new part of the letter.
# brothers
Here this means fellow Christians, including both men and women, because all believers in Christ are members of one spiritual family, with God as their heavenly Father.
# what has happened to me
Paul is talking about his time in prison. Alternate translation: "what I suffered because I was put into prison for preaching about Jesus" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-explicit]])
# has really served to advance the gospel
"has caused more people to hear the gospel"
