Paul has been imprisoned. He is bound by chains and living under the watchful eye of Roman soldiers, yet he still continues to praise the Lord despite his circumstances. He says in verse twelve that, “What has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel”. Paul knows that God uses every situation we find ourselves in, and every problem we face, to further the gospel. “To live is Christ and to die is gain”. Christ can and will be glorified in everything situation, however far down the road it may be, even though we may not see how in this lifetime.
