📚 Historical Context

Paul wrote this letter while imprisoned, likely in Rome around 60-62 AD. He had just been telling the Philippians that he had learned to be content whether he had plenty or was in need. This famous declaration comes right after describing how he had experienced both abundance and poverty, yet found strength in Christ through every circumstance.
