1 What does Paul tell the Philippians what he does "upon every remembrance of you" in Philippians 1:3, according to the King James Version?
Answer: thank my God

The book of Philippians is one of Paul's prison epistles. That is he wrote this (along with Ephesians, Colossians, and Philemon) while in prison. This is one of the most encouraging books in the Bible. I love that Paul, who was in prison not knowing what was going to happen to him, was writing to encourage others during this time.

Paul is explaining why, despite the fact he is in prison and does not know what will happen, he can rejoice. He is saying that, if he lives, he can continue preaching the Gospel (to live is Christ), and if he doesn't live, then he will gain, because then he will be with Christ. He says in the next couple of verses that while it is hard to decide between life and death with these choices, he says it's better to be with Jesus than to be here preaching about Jesus.

6 Philippians is a letter Paul wrote to the church in Philippi, a city located in Macedonia. Where was Paul when he wrote this letter?
Answer: In prison

"But I want you to know, brethren, that the things which happened to me have actually turned out for the furtherance of the gospel, so that it has become evident to the whole palace guard, and to all the rest, that my chains are in Christ..." (Philippians 1:12-13).
While there are some differences of opinion about the location of the prison Paul was in, most believe he was in Rome and this letter was written around 60 or 61 AD.
Philippi was named after Phillip II of Macedonia. He was the father of Alexander the Great. Paul went to Macedonia in response to a vision he received in Acts 16:9: "And a vision appeared to Paul in the night. A man of Macedonia stood and pleaded with him, saying, 'Come over to Macedonia and help us.'" The church in Philippi is believed to be the first Christian church in Europe. You can learn more about this church in Acts chapter 16.
