Paul wrote the letter to the Philippians by Epaphroditus, after he had recovered his health. He hoped also that in a short time, he would send Timothy to them. As soon as he would know their state, he trusted also that he himself would come shortly to them. (PHP 2:2,19,29) At that time Paul's bonds for Christ were famous in all the court and even some of Caesar's palace staff were converted to the faith. (PHP 1:12,13 4:12) Since he was sent into prison by Caesar, he was more known in his family and so made the house of persecution the church of Christ. {Jerome, Commentary to Philemon}
