Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, Notice, he doesn�t say, �Paul, a prisoner of the Roman Government. He is a prisoner of Jesus Christ!

You know, if you think, well, I�m a prisoner of the Roman government, then you can sit there and sulk in your cell. But if you are a prisoner of Jesus Christ, what can you do, but rejoice? I�m a prisoner of our Lord Jesus Christ. I�m bound by Him!and Timothy our brother, So Paul includes Timothy, his young son in the faith, who at this moment was in Rome with Paul.
