See how you translated brothers in the previous verse [1:12](../01/12.md).

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τῶν ἀδελφῶν

˱of˲_the brothers

Paul is using the term brothers here to refer to anyone who is a fellow believer in Jesus. If this is not clear in your language, you could express this plainly. Alternative translation: [my companions who believe in Jesus]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐν Κυρίῳ πεποιθότας τοῖς δεσμοῖς μου

in ˓the˒_Lord ˓having˒_trusted ˱by˲_the bonds (Some words not found in SR-GNT: καί τούς πλείονας τῶν ἀδελφῶν ἐν Κυρίῳ πεποιθότας τοῖς δεσμοῖς μού περισσοτέρως τολμᾶν ἀφόβως τόν λόγον τοῦ Θεοῦ λαλεῖν)

The phrase encouraged in the Lord means that the Philippian Christians had grown in their trust of the Lord because of Paul’s imprisonment. Alternate translation: [trust the Lord more because of my chains] or [have received more courage from the Lord as a result of my imprisonment]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

καὶ τοὺς πλείονας τῶν ἀδελφῶν ἐν Κυρίῳ πεποιθότας τοῖς δεσμοῖς μου

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: καί τούς πλείονας τῶν ἀδελφῶν ἐν Κυρίῳ πεποιθότας τοῖς δεσμοῖς μού περισσοτέρως τολμᾶν ἀφόβως τόν λόγον τοῦ Θεοῦ λαλεῖν)

If it would be more natural in your language, you could express this with an active form, and you could state who or what caused the action. Alternate translation: [The Lord has encouraged most of the brothers because of my chains] or [My chains have given most of the brothers more trust in the Lord]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

δεσμοῖς μου

bonds (Some words not found in SR-GNT: καί τούς πλείονας τῶν ἀδελφῶν ἐν Κυρίῳ πεποιθότας τοῖς δεσμοῖς μού περισσοτέρως τολμᾶν ἀφόβως τόν λόγον τοῦ Θεοῦ λαλεῖν)

Paul is referring to his imprisonment by mentioning one part of it: the chains that bound his feet and hands. If this is unclear in your language, you could mention the imprisonment directly. See how you translated the phrase my chains in [1:7](../01/07.md) and [1:13](../01/13.md). Alternate translation: [because of my imprisonment]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

Here, the word refers to the message from God about Jesus. If it would be clearer in your language, consider stating this explicitly. Alternate translation: [the gospel] or [the good news] or [God’s message]
